As it would have been extremely difficult to livestream the proceedings, I thought I’d share what I said to the gathered friends and family… We only know the people in our lives through the lens in which we view them. My mom knew many, many people in her life. Family, friends, co-workers, in different walksContinue reading “Farewell to mom part 1…”

Brave & The Bold #115 – “The Corpse That Wouldn’t DIE”
Ridiculously joyous, insanely beautiful. As a kid growing up in the ’60’s and ’70’s, I had a penchant for reading comics, and some of the most desired were Batman comics. Each month, the cowled character featured in Batman, Detective comics, Batman Family, Justice League of America, World’s Finest with Superman, and The Brave & TheContinue reading “Brave & The Bold #115 – “The Corpse That Wouldn’t DIE””
Fantastic four: Full Circle by Alex Ross
Abrams ComicArts did what Marvel comics was apparently hesitant to do — put out a comic featuring the Fantastic Four, starring Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Richards (The Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Ever-lovin’ Blue eyed Thing). I’ve missed them. Oh, Marvel puts out a monthly Fantastic Four comic,Continue reading “Fantastic four: Full Circle by Alex Ross”

“Live every day like there’s no tomorrow.” – Some idiot
We were watching After Life, starring Rick Gervais in his latest misery guts dark comedy, and that sage advice was given to him by a friend. At a graveyard. Where she spends every day talking to her late husband’s grave stone. So basically, Ricky’s character should live every day like there’s no tomorrow, while sheContinue reading ““Live every day like there’s no tomorrow.” – Some idiot”
Waiting for casting on Doctor Who and the FF…
ANY week now. Or so I’m hoping. I, and countless other fans, are awaiting casting news on two franchises. The first is who will be picked as the 14th Doctor Who. The next is who will be cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of the Fantastic Four. Some crazy and unsettling rumors abound withContinue reading “Waiting for casting on Doctor Who and the FF…”
Look! There, there! A 7-11!
This was the fevered declaration, every time my grandparents and I would travel down route 41 in southern Florida, circa the mid 1970’s. Ever since my grandparents left Chicago for the warmer climate in 1973, my mom would plop me on a plane (I was 11 years old) and send me down there every summer.Continue reading “Look! There, there!

George Perez
At some point in 1975, after a couple years without them, I was able to locate an alternative place to buy my new comics. I found a drug store that was a mile from my house, so I hoofed it over there each week for new comics. Amongst the offerings was I *think* the firstContinue reading “George Perez”
The Uphill Battle
Saw the most interesting comic strip in the newspaper the other day. My wife was reading the paper, and it caught her eye. She wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, so she showed it to me. We questioned what the deeper gag was. I mean, okay, Sisyphus endlessly pushing the rock up theContinue reading “The Uphill Battle”
Multiverse, Multiverse, what is Multiverse?!?!
It’s theorized that there are other realities besides ours. Each time we make a decision, that there’s another reality, or parallel world where we make a different decision. That in fact, there are millions of billions of alternate/parallel earths/galaxies/universes that co-exist side by side. It’s a fascinating, authentic, scientific theory. That can never be proven.Continue reading “Multiverse, Multiverse, what is Multiverse?!?!”
