Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia covered my pre-dinner read.

The innards were produced by Harlan Ellison and Roy Thomas, and Rich Buckler and Dan Adkins (1972).

Hawkeye was still wearing a skirt (kilt, whatever), and Paul Kupperberg had a letter published re: Avengers 97.

I’m giving a presentation at the museum this afternoon. Checking my tech, and the Google Slides I converted to a .pdf starts up great. Then I start getting all these pop-ups from Adobe Generative AI.

Not today, Satan! Begone!!
