I may be there, depending on how much sleep I get between now and Sunday morning.

This was published in Penthouse Comics in the 1993. Look at the last panel. Even then some people knew how ridiculous was speculation in comics. That panel would be a lot better if they had used the right word - "deluded" should have been "diluted" - although "deluded" is a good description of the character's belief in the value of those comics.

I heard that women LOVE those types of beards. They are sexually attracted to that look. My wife hates facial hair of all kinds. That's the reason I don't have a beard anymore.

I heard the end of this on the radio yesterday: the1a.org/segments/saving-classic-video-games/Game Mode: Saving classic video gamesThink back to your earliest video game memories.
As technology changes and video games become increasingly released only on digital, many of the titles you grew up on may be unplayable today. kotaku.com/classic-games-history-foundation-preservation-yakuza-1850623857
87% of classic video games — those released before 2010 — are in danger of being lost to time. That’s according to a study from the Video Game History Foundation. gamehistory.org/87percent/
Some companies are trying to rectify the situation by making more games available through subscription services, like Nintendo Switch Online. Nintendo recently announced the availability of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games through the service. Only 25 out of a total 1,873 Game Boy games are still available for purchase. www.theverge.com/2023/7/14/23792586/classic-game-preservation-video-game-history-foundation-esa
In this edition of Game Mode, our series where we cover video games and the gaming industry, we’ll talk about the efforts being made to preserve classic video games.

There are a few interesting pages in here, starting on the 8th page of this preview: issuu.com/twomorrows/docs/alterego171previewOne especially relevant paragraph: That Stan Lee was the co-creator, and not the sole creator, of the key Marvel heroes from the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man through Daredevil and the Silver Surfer can hardly be in dispute at this late stage. I myself, back in the ’80s when I wasn’t working for him, had a friendly argument with him on that score over lunch. I soon realized that, as much as he respected the talents and contributions of artists (Riesman would say “artist/writers” and he’s right, at least in one sense) such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to the characters introduced in the 1960s, he could never really bring himself, in his own mind, to think of them as “co-creators.” The two of us had to agree to disagree, and I never saw any use in bringing it up again.- Roy Thomas

Porky Pig #36, Sept. 1954, cover pencilled by Tony Strobl. Porky has a surprisingly accurate clarinet for a cartoony character.
