If Aquaman got all hot and sweaty while on land, wouldn't that speed up his 1 hour time limit? Would a good deodorant slow it back down? Does Aquaman have a fishy smell?

I ran across a DC oddity A publisher named H.C.Blackerby issued Warrior Comics in 1945, a one-shot. It was DC reprints, pre-superhero, from about years prior. The publisher did the same thing in 1945 with the one-shot Bingo Comics. The only other publication from Blackerby was again in 1945 with Sharp Comics but that looks like original material How they got permission to reprint older DC material is a mystery. Besides the fact that even for a 1945 audience, the material was quite dated and DC had no use for it

Thor's fake secret I.D. of Dr.Donald Blake. I seem to recall they kicked that persona to the curb late in the original Jack Kirby phase . But knowing Marvel, I'll bet Dr. Donald Blake reappeared later for a few issues at least. Am I right?

I'll have to disagree. Joey Gallo was always a .200 hitter. A HR hitter who struck out in about half his at bats. With the Yanks, he did the same, just hit a bit below .200 On the Dodgers he's still the same, hitting.194 for them 31 strikeouts with 67 at bats. Gallo is what Gallo does

I watched the TV Movie-Pilot Episode of The Immortal. Pretty good I must say The story is based on a SF Novel called The Immortal by James Gunn, a prolific SF writer in the 50's and 60's who was held in high regard. Gunn was awarded a Grand Master Lifetime Achievement honor, inducted into the SF Hall Of Fame and won a Hugo for his Isaac Asimov Critical Analysis book

A .211 Batting Average and making mental errors on defense. Yankee fans wanted to package Hicks and Gallo in a trade for a pack of Rolaids Since the trade deadline. Joey Gallo has put up better numbers than Juan Soto, the biggest name dealt at the deadline. I don't think Joey loved New York. The Yanks sure could use his and Montogmery's production during this stretch drive... -M Best of luck to Joey Gallo. But whatever good he does elsewhere, it would never happen if he stayed in NY. The Montgomery trade however, I feel will be regretted. It certainly is already

The downward trend in overall MLB Batting Average is horrible and makes for a boring game. Last year it was .244 So far this year its .243 It hasn't been that low since 1968 when they finally lowered the pitching mound to address the same problem Hopefully the new anti-defensive shift moves will help the game God knows, the players will never learn how to bunt to combat shifts

I was just about to copy/paste the new rues. You beat me to it. If it speeds up the game, if it increases stolen bases as a strategy, it's fine for me Maybe the batters now will be forced to abbreviate their personal music when they are stepping up to the plate MLB Rule Changes

Finished the 1965 comedy sitcom My Living Doll starring Julie Newmar and Bob Cummings. Just 11 of it's 26 episodes made it to the DVD set. A show ahead of it's time, a show that typifies the chauvinist attitude towards women ( here we have a computer brain robot beauty who's keeper-Bob Cummings- makes her into a secretary doing typing and file work), a show with a god damned laugh track But on the plus side, the writing got a bit better as it progressed and one has to admire Newmar's acting in what was a difficult role. Act like a robot but not too much as a robot as she needed to fool other people that she was human. Had to exhibit naivity since she was only just a few weeks old. And Newmar's acting improved as the show went on But there were problems behind the camera, big problems, enough that Robert Cummings left the show with about 6 episodes left to be filmed. There is confliction wether he was fired or he quit. Certainly he was always trying to make the show be about his character rather than the robot. Going to lengths to take the script home during the weekend and re-writing it which caused some chaos. It aired on Sunday evening and got creamed in the ratings by Bonanza, one of the most watched TV shows of that year. They moved it to another night and again it was losing to the competition such as The Patty Duke Show. Along with it's casting problem, it didn't come back for a second season Lots of nice extras on the DVD such as an modern interview with Julie Newmar as well as a 1964 interview on the Lucille Ball Radio Show Plus one episode of Bob Cummings hit show from 8 years prior, Love That Bob You also get to see the original opening for the show which had Julie Newmar wearing a very,very short nightgown, "a teddi" I think it's called. The network freaked out a bit so it was changed to something full length You also get 10 minutes of vintage commercials, a photo gallery and the music from a soundtrack album of the show Overall, a show I enjoyed watching more for curiosity and historical entertainment. And a few genuine funny episodes too Now to decide in the next 24 hours the next TV on DVD to view

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD 3, August 1968Heck and Colletta Heck and Colletta signed the cover as "Steranko"? Did they do it just to make Jim mad? There's easier ways of accomplishing that. That cover was a serious contender for my vote. But now knowing Heck and Colletta forged Steranko's signature, I'll have to think about it
