I guess this conversation is out of my grasp as I have that Avengelyne/Glory comic. Among other things. Like a disproportionately large amount of Bettie Page photos, biographies, art, posters and prints our walls. Along with some Vamperilla. Emma Peel, Oh My Goddess! and I think I have a poster of Lady Gaga too. Call me a perpetually 15 year old middle school boy. Probably not something I am going to outgrow.
I also asked my wife this morning if I turned up the heater would it be enough that she would wear less than sweat pants, a hoodie and two pairs of socks to bed. She smiled and rolled her eyes and told me to go to work. *shrugs*

WKRP was and remains my favorite sitcom. Despite the outdated cultural references, it remains fresh and relevant thanks to the writing and one of the best ensemble casts in the history of American television. Cei-U! "Booger!" As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly. |

It is. All three were on the Tonight Show. It was when The Three Amigos opened, which Siskel and Ebert trashed. Next time I’m on my computer, as opposed to my phone, I’ll see if I can track it down again. I happened to catch that episode when it first aired. It was really awkward - and kind of funny, honestly - Ebert was particularly harsh, and Chase started making faces in the background. I mostly agreed with Ebert, but the ironic thing for me is that the only two scenes in that movie I found mildly funny were centered around Chase's character. I found two parts of The Three Amigos funny... the first part, and the second part. One of my all time favs. |

I never had much time for Trimpe's 60s-80s work, a journeyman at best, but holy hell that FF artwork is horrible. The things people will do to keep a job. But at least he drew decent feet. No person at Marvel ordered him to draw that way, he wanted to explore that type of style. But I can't really name many artists who lasted very long in the industry that didn't have their skills diminish. Maybe George Perez still produced art close to his prime. Nobody in the WWF forced wrestlers to take steroids, either; but, it became pretty clear by who got featured and who didn't that you needed to be on them to have the kind of physique that would get you a push. Same deal; just substitute art style. It isn't unique to Trimpe, though he is the most glaring example. Ageism has long been a central part of the comics profession, with writers and artists of terrific work pushed aside, for younger, cheaper people. I mean, why go with a proven track record? I've been there. 20 years of loyal service and sacrifice and when you become too expensive for them, they push you out the door. It's not easy starting over, either, especially as your level of experience, in your resume, points out how old you are, with very little effort. |

 I'm just saying, even if he did time-travel to get it, still love Radar. Some years ago, my wife worked in the head office building for Swifty Serve, a chain of gas stations owned by the actor who played Trapper John. Apparently he used part and parcel of the money he earned acting to found the chain. She saw him a couple of times while she worked there as he would travel there to attend board meetings and conduct business. However she also said that the office gossip was that if you met him, DO NOT talk to him about MASH. Don't ask him about it, don't ever bring it up at all because to do so would get you fired on the spot. Why? She didn't know maybe some lingering resentment over the show. All she knew was MASH was a very, VERY taboo subject in the office and especially around him. |

Then there are lines of dialogue which dont hold up, for various reasons. For example, Iron Man #231, taking place during the Armor Wars where Iron Man is going after numerous armored Marvel characters, has a PR director suggesting a new Corporate Spokesman for Stark Enterprises,,Bill Cosby.
