Panel from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Ruthye Marye Knoll has arms around Supergirl’s neck, prepared to be carried into the air. Supergirl has her left handover Ruthye’s, holding them together. In yellow box (Ruthye narrating): “She knew I’d spent my days solidly on the ground, and did not want me needlessly frightened, but there was no other choice.” Word bubble (Supergirl speaking to Ruthye): “I’m going to hold my hands here, and these hands can turn coal into diamonds, so they’re not going to let go. I’m going to keep you safe.”

And now... your bonus XUM'S WHO entry...

Who is... THE RANDOMIZER II?
Ages ago, the Guardians of the Universe decided that in order to preserve the rule of order in their cosmos, they must remove what elements of chaos they could from it. Thus, they gathered together most of the randomized cosmic radiation in the universe and contained it within a decommissioned power battery placed within a distant star. Through a series of unknown-albeit random-circumstances, the captured radiation achieved sentience, eventually escaped, fashioned a fashionable robotic containment shell, and found itself on Earth in Los Angeles in the late 1970s where, inspired by a hit movie (Star Wars) to call itself "Beep Boop," it became an overnight sensation in the stand-up comedy circuit. But Beep Boop's big break happened in 1984 when it landed a role as the voice of the computer screens on the game show Jeopardy with host Alex Trebek. However, what was believed to be a long-term role turned out to be just a one-time gig, as the game show producers decided to reuse an audio recording of Beep Boop's audition reading rather than continue to pay it to voice every episode. Its hopes of becoming a serious voice actor dashed, the following decades were filled with both poor luck and poor life choices for Beep Boop, until the fateful day it met Canadian voice actor Randy Miser (see Randomizer I) at an international Exploited Chumps Anonymous meeting (Miser has a similar experience voicing the Wheel on Wheel of Fortune). Back in the day, Miser was hired by Canadian podcaster Siskoid as the Randomizer for his Panel by Panel Podcast for the Fire and Water Podcast Network. Miser's work caught the attention of Rob Kelly and the Irredeemable. Shag, who asked Siskoid if Miser would be available to serve as the Randomizer for their latest iteration of their Who's Who Podcast. Miser subcontracted the additional gig to Beep Boop, whom Miser saw as a kindred spirit. Thus, the now happy Beep Boop became the network's second Randomizer for the all-new Who's Who Review podcast.

Just realized that the new HERO SQUARED COMPLETE COLLECTION is out this week from @boom-studios.com! This is the only creator-owned series Keith Giffen and I did together and it may just be my favorite Giffen-DeMatteis production.

Wanted to help this escape Reddit containment: Farscape is popular in prisons (and in my house.)
Farscape is very popular in US prisons It is one of the few shows that are on the free movie apps we would have on our tablets that had any decent story and production. It was very popular in the prison I was in because of that. Several times I was surprised by people who were big, gang affiliated, with a violent history and covered in tattoos and they were the biggest fans, on their 8th or 12th run of the show. Edit: Surprised by the reaction! So here's some more info: When I entered prison in early 2024, every single inmate was issued their own tablet. The tablet can make calls, texts to friends and family outside, play games and movies, etc. Everything on it you pay for monthly, except the games pass which lasts for a year. The tablets can differ though, in our city jail we had better tablets, those had better movies and you could buy real games like Pokémon and Final Fantasy Tactics. The tablets you get in prison have games more akin to standard mobile games. Candy Crush was one of the free games every tablet had so that was a big topic of discussion as well. For 7.99 a month you get access to Crackle and all the stuff that comes with it, one of the things bring Farscape. Options being what they are on Crackle, Farscape definitely stands out if youre planning on spending a lot of your time on your tablet. There are little groups that discuss it in the library and around Halloween there were some goofy fucks making costumes from the show for a laugh.

🧵 I don’t write about illustrators too much, but want to bring you the Norwegian Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914), who died on this day. I love how he created images of Norwegian mythology & tales that are as attractive today as when they were created. Watch out for trolls! [1]
