Pac-Man was SO popular in 1982 that Alfred E. Neuman didn’t even make it onto the cover of his own magazine (though I believe the British version *did* paste him in).

When I worked in the comic industry, there seemed to be two camps in Editorial regarding comic book fans. One saw them as a buncha lovable goofs. The other, who championed Comics as more of a High Art Form, saw them as smelly embarrassing Rorschachs. Some of this was classism.

To be clear, this viewpoint of seeing the fans as unwashed masses of Rorschach-like embarrassments was also shared on the part of some Creative & Media within the industry. If only they would stop buying the books! That would really help the industry's image!

Does anybody know what comic book Billy Corgan is reading in the "Today" music video?

I like that Bruce Wayne takes the time to shave to be Batman. He’s not going to put the cowl over a hairy face. He has standards.

When I was in my 20’s I would go in the middle of Union Square & just read tarot cards for people. It was wild, there’d be a crowd around me. I didn’t even charge them. I was just trying to gain experience. Of course, I read *this* comic off the stands when I was 7 years old!

I had a response/retweet of this post but more Monkees-related; it equated Charlie with Peter Tork. The post for whatever reason didn't go through, but here is a photo of Peter Tork ❤️.
Mac=I'd be probably most attracted to right off the bat
Dennis=He's OK too & I'm most likely to actually *date* him, but he'd be terrible. TERRIBLE!!!
Charlie=Probably the best, truest guy. Makes flow charts on random walls.

I mean…this scene has its charm. But it’s a little on-the-nose, isn’t it? I sort of liked the idea that Jason was just like a kid who died tragically & his mom died & then he supernaturally came back from the dead just filled w/vengeance as the result of those circumstances.
Jason’s first swing of the machete in Crystal Lake.
This is crazy foreshadowing. Little does he know what he will become.
