Another sign of where we rate with Superman...

Hey! Mr. Jones and little Bobby didn't blow up!

Glad to be your canaries, Superman! (Thanks again to CryptLeak for this one.)

Remembering Michael Dunn (October 20, 1934- August 30, 1973)

-

  American actor and singer, Michael Dunn (born Gary Neil Miller) arrived on this date in 1934 in Shattuck, Oklahoma. When he was four, his family moved to Dearborn, Michigan. Parents Jewell and Fred championed his right to live and develop openly, as part of mainstream life, defying repeated pressures from school authorities to send him to a school for disabled children.   An early reader, he was a champion speller, showed an early aptitude for the piano, and developed a lyric baritone and was given to crowd-drawing impromptu public performances even while just waiting for a bus. He ice-skated and swam in childhood, remaining a skilled swimmer throughout his life.   He attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, but was seriously injured on a stairwell during a "student rush" and was hospitalized for three months. Transferring to the more forgiving climate and accessible campus of the University of Miami, he seemed to excel more in extracurricular...

Oct 20-26 - Shows (and Bodies) Piling Up

      I continue to be tired and off-step, these Friday posts coming together on the fly and mostly at the last minute. Still, there's more than enough on my returning and new list to leave me with more than I'll have time to actually watch this weekend.       Restlessness, impatience, and avoiding tasks I'm supposed to be doing all contributed to my already watching this week's episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks (I've enjoyed every episode) and the third episode of the new Frasier series (still finding its footing, but more there to attract me than put me off) - both Paramount+, and the latest Doom Patrol (a musical episode, including an a capella rendition of the opening theme; this being the back half of the final season, I'm going to miss this crew) on Max. Waiting for me still are this week's Loki (Disney+) and Gen V (Amazon).       I've yet to break the seal on the new and ongoing seasons of Our Flag Means Death on ...

     A fairly brief nod toward t his past week's pair of additions to my library.       The fourth volume (of five) of Brubaker's Captain America run, and the all-in-one collection of Peter David's run of Captain Marvel stories, following the tale of Genis-Vell, son of (Marvel's) first Captain Marvel.       Each of these were series I only read once, as each was coming out, each with likely even less attention than I realized at the time. (Which I've been realizing again and again is true for entirely too much of my unfortunately distracted adult life.)       The Captain America volume is 928 pages, and while I recall some of the specifics it's receded to a blur in memory. The fifth volume, wrapping up Brubaker's run with the character, will be coming out within the next month or so if memory serves.       The Captain Marvel tome is 1400 pages, covering some sixty one issues, between his...
