Why? He can just spin the world backwards and solve everything.

“Firefang!” WRITER: Denny O’Neil PENCILER: Mark Bright INKERS: Ian Akin & Brian Garvey COLORIST: Bob Sharen LETTERER: Rick Parker EDITOR: Mark Gruenwald
If you recall back during the introduction to this series of Chapter By Chapter articles I mentioned that this was a book my mother tried to read to me when I was a young pup (having gotten it from the Weekly Reader Book Club) but it was a day I couldn’t stop peeing so she gave up, and we never tried again. The fact that my mom recently passed away makes me want to finally finish this book even more. I doubt she remembered it or that day but my failing have an evil habit of sticking with me. This is one “ghost” (no pun intended) I’m planning to bust, minor as it may be.
Back with our hero, who picked the beginnings of a major storm to decide hanging around a couple of creepy men might not be in his best interest, shared love of horses or not. So Alec and the Black are going to have to get through the Everglades, which they may not know a lot about, fast, since neither of them has an umbrella or a good set of galoshes.
We always knew Ming had a big head.
Marvel/Star Comics (January, 1987)
WRITER: Stan Lee with Bob Harras PENCILER: Alex Saviuk INKER: Fred Fredericks COLORIST: Nel Yomtov LETTERER: Ken Lopez EDITOR: Michael HigginsI am not even close to the audience of Fifty Shades Of Grey, the modified Twilight slashfic that became its own franchise. However, the erotic book-turned-movie ended up with a Christian movie as it’s competition that focuses on traditional romance and was also based on a book not intended to compete with the raunchy source material. Old Fashioned is about a more traditional romance as two people learn about life, love, and personal redemption. Outside of the different looks a non-platonic relationship I’m not sure how they connect, but CBN News produced a special comparing the two approaches to romance (or whatever Fifty Shade is trying to demonstrate) and that they’re both coming out for Valentine’s Day. I could embed it but the only interest I have is spiritual. I thought someone out there might want to see it, though. If you’re curious about Old Fashioned, this is the official website.

I know I’m not the only one to make that connection.
What does she have against poor Treble? He gives Bass an armored form after all. I wish I had room to do a proper crossing-out of Treble to make that joke work better. And if you missed the context:
I still don’t know what “bass” and “treble” have to do with being curvy.
I got a little personal in this week’s Clutter Report. As you know my mother passed away last month. She left behind myself, my dad, more jewelry, shoes, and clothing than she needed (a lot of the jewelry is already gone so don’t waste your time breaking in to steal it…she didn’t even wear a lot of it), knickknacks aplenty, lots of books and videos she never got to, and bunches of other stuff. So I talked about how we’re left to do the clutter maintenance and how that affects how I look at my own clutter. It’s something I don’t think a lot of us think about when it comes to our own clutter.
As of this writing I still haven’t chosen the afternoon comic reviews (I’m still keeping the spot open for when I can afford to buy new comics again and taking the time to speed up my go-through of my old comics) so I don’t know what I’ll be doing. I hope you at least find it interesting.
Voice actresses had a panel all to themselves at ConnectiCon 2014. Jennifer Hale (Female Shepard from Mass Effect) and Lauren Landa make their second BW appearances, joined by Brittney Lauda, Danielle McRae, and Ellen McLain (GLaDOS and the turrets…which sounds like an evil machine band name), for a Q&A session with fans about voice acting and their careers. They discuss voice acting in general, being a woman in the industry, and learn they want to be the Joker.
