Strange Dumbness Forever
Meanwhile: The Comics Podcast's latest episode is a fascinating interview with legendary comics industry crusader/controversial scientific theorist/NASONEX Bee designer Neal Adams. It's nearly three hours long, and I felt it wasn't nearly long enough. I'd love it if somebody sat Neal in front of a microphone and just let him talk for a couple hours every single week.

I will attempt to resist the temptation to solely link to vintage TV fall promo videos I find wildly entertaining, like this (watch for the shot of Potsie saluting a magical comet) or this (WARNING: it will take a drill to get this commanding song out of you head). It's both a crime and a national tragedy that the networks don't produce fall promo videos like that anymore. But I digress…
