It’s also the second appearance of Aunt Harriet. She’s in about two panels, complaining about how Bruce and Dick never seem to eat the breakfast that she fixes. I wondered how many times and with what frequency she had appeared in the Batman comics. So I used Mike’s Amazing World to count the issues she was in. She shows up 17 times between 1964 and 1968, and this includes one appearance in World’s Finest and one in Jimmy Olsen. A GCD search shows 9 appearances in Detective, 5 in Batman, 2 in World's Finest, one in Jimmy Olsen, one in Lois Lane (cover date Jan. 1969), and one in a free mini-comic included in boxes of Kellogg's Pop-Tarts. Plus a Mad magazine parody of the TV show.

If I'd known that Radioactive Man was a spinoff, he would have been on my list. If I'd remembered that Son of Satan was a spinoff, he would have been seriously considered.

Not familiar with that song, Rob. Who's it by? That's "Goodnight Everybody" by Lou & Peter Berryman, a prolific songwriting and performing duo from Madison, Wisconsin. She writes the melodies and plays accordion; he writes the lyrics and plays 12-string guitar; they both sing. The song was originally on their 1998 album Some Kinda Funny and also on the 2004 collection Love is the Weirdest of All. All of their lyrics are available free on their website, louandpeter.com. I highly recommend them! It took some doing but I found the song online: sonichits.com/video/Lou_%26_Peter_Berryman/Goodnight_Everybody?track=1

In a dream last week, I was trying to remember the names of the other two Kryptonian criminals who were with Zod. In the dream I decided that their names were Naff and Boo Boo, which my dream self found hilarious.

A bit of lyric from a song I rediscovered recently:
Though the flights to the moon have been in some decline I remember the Eagle back in '69 That they walked on the moon is not as wild somehow As the fact that there are footprints on the moon right now

If I'd known that Tales of Asgard qualified, it would have been on my list.

I turned 18 in December 1974, so I have a draft card. I even have a scan of it that I can post if anyone wants to see it. I'd be interested in seeing that, Rob. Actually you have seen it. I started getting a feeling of deja vu, so I did a little digging and found that the reason I scanned my draft card seven years ago was to post it here, in response to a request - from you: classiccomics.org/post/201468/threadIt's not a very good scan; if I can find the card again, my new phone has a much better camera.

I turned 18 in December 1974, so I have a draft card. I even have a scan of it that I can post if anyone wants to see it. My brother, though, is in the lucky interval - he was too young for the Vietnam-era draft and too old for the reinstituted draft in 1980. He turned 18 in July 1977. He didn't have to register and never got a draft card. He's also in an even smaller cohort - he was born when there were 49 states. Alaska was admitted on Jan. 3, 1959; he was born on July 20; and Hawaii became a state on Aug. 21.

You've reminded me of a question that I've never found a concise answer to. One of the basic principles of physics is that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So, when you lose weight, where does it go?
