From the letters page of Doom Patrol #119, May-June 1968; Murray Boltinoff, editor.
Dear Editor, I've been wondering some time now what the script and artwork look like. Would appreciate.
Alan Goldsmith Morenci, Mich.
You can stop your wondering, Alan, and join the crowd of curious comic collectors who've been banging on our door. The story resembles a movie script, with each page devoted to individual panels that are broken down into scene descriptions for the artist and the dialogue, which we call, balloons, because of their shape. On Page 1, the introduction is known as the Blurb, and the big illustration, the Splash. The drawings are done on sheets, 10" x 15". The pencils are done first, and after they've been reviewed by the editor, the pages go to the letterer, who inserts the balloons and captions. The inking follows, and the final, complete job is delivered to the editor, who checks out the pages again. From there it goes to the Production Dept., and that's how comic history is made. -Ed.

When I see the name "Mark Russell", I still think of the late musical satirist first.

Here in the UK, there’s that eternal debate about how to pronounce Shrewsbury, a market town in Shropshire… I lived for a couple of years in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. There's no debate about its pronunciation - SHROOZ-burr-ee. How else would you say it?

A question for our British members - My wife and I watched a movie that took place in Yorkshire. In one scene, two teenagers were arrested for smoking a joint but were released when the joint turned out to contain oregano instead of pot. The question - everybody in the movie pronounced "oregano" as "or-eh-GAH-no". Is that standard UK pronunciation or just Yorkshire? I know they have a distinct dialect. Over here we would say "uh-REG-uh-no". The internet tells me that in Italian it's "oh-REEG-ah-no", so apparently we're both wrong. Calendar Girls? That was it, yes.

I'm surprised you didn't know that, Rob Allen. Don't you live in Or-e-GON? No, I live in ORygun.
