🪝🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT🚨🪝
The brains put their heads together to see if "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" hold up. They read the exact story of "The Hook" the movies are vaguely based on.
Also there's a legacy sequel soon. ugh.

For Marvel's 1983 "Assistant Editors Month" every title was messed with in various ways. Kind of a mixed bag.
But what to do w/ a reprint book? In this case, they added a new page updating the characters' "look," which meant everyone was skinhead/punk.
Except Peter. Still in his 1960's suit lol.

There are a handful of publications accepting submissions over the next couple months that I have my eyes on so I just fired off a few pages on this typewriter my wife got me for Christmas a few years ago. Hoping to have a first draft by the end of the week.
