I wonder if this isn’t what also happened to opera?

You’ve prob seen this one but it’s coming to mind frequently. I think kids put their attnt where we put it. We look at our phones, and so they do. We go less to the cinema, and so on.

Is he collecting them? How and when does he stop?
That’s my primal fear w figures, considering the awkward mess I have w books and comic-books.

Time for a reread!

I think fandom also entails losing some objectiveness. I think fans are uncritical and blind to bad or weak spots in their object of worship.

Agree.

Congratulations and also very interesting, Mike.
Any sketch you can share? I’m curious because it reminds me of a childhood favorite strip -although yours sounds pretty different, I guess both have an emphasis in body language.

I feel Planetary is Snow’s story -and I have a big soft spot for that.

A Jakita Wagner story wouldn’t have Snow in it.

Agree in principle. Also feel Ellis left a lot of ground for her to play with. To me she’s like an upgraded bionic woman and one has to wonder whatever she did all those years without a boss.

I like her a tad more than Jenny Sparks in this sense.

I don’t think often about her but you somehow just reminded me.
Where does Jakita seat in your pantheon, Patch? Or in your list?
