Holy Kirby Crackle!
I've wondered if Jack Kirby's crackle effect was meant to focus on the black dots or if it was his artistic shortcut to give the inverse lighting effect a more dynamic energy effect.

Why, it's not an inspiring butt shot. Even as a kid, it was a constant joke with my siblings. It's a good thing we were too young to make it a drinking game or I wouldn't be here now. Years later, he said he was trying to master that part of the anatomy.

Legion by Jim Shooter & Curt Swan. I had no idea at the time that Shooter was a kid when he was writing it.

I've wondered if the New X-Men would have taken off without Dave Cockrum on the first couple years of the book. Dave left DC when publisher Carmine Infantino refused to let him get his original art for a 2-page spread for Legion's Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel wedding. DCwasn't returning art back then

With history, I've been enjoying finding books written around the time things happened in Google Books. This except is from New Travels in the United States of America, written by Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville, shortly after the Revolutionary War.

I saw a net ad for a puzzle store in my area with a going out of business sale. Looking up the store on Google for an address got me a store website which looked fishy. I asked Google if it was going out of business. I asked ChatGPT the same question. Neither recognized it as a scam. AI is a sucker!

That was being rather picky. That's what lawyers do.
OT, but I thought you'd get a chuckle out of inflation forcing DC to increase their cover price by $0.02. Using the BLS CPI calculator, that's the equivalence of a 21 cent increase in today's dollars. That $0.12 comic would cost $1.28 today.

You've probably never heard of Dynamite Thor--a hero who believed there were no problems that could not be solved with a stick of dynamite.

Using data from the Department of Education, here is the money they send to each state divided by federal income tax collected. Not surprisingly, Red states generally get more back.
If the Department of Education is eliminated, good job, idiots. Your kids will be dumber than you.

That won't happen because the welfare queen states getting the most FEMA money are Red states. If states had to budget for known disasters, they would do more to minimize their impact. The South might care more about the climate change that worsens their disasters.
