This was my introduction to Groff. These days my daughter is a theater kid, so now I see him as he usually is.

And he was great when we saw Merrily.

I kept ChatGPT. The rest of it still works well. I just need a best-in-class image generator.

It’s open source. I uploaded the files to my server. Created a new DB. Updated the config file, and it was up and running.
It took an hour or so. But now I can use my domain shortener anywhere!

Snoopy once wrote a Batman story.

In the 1970s, the Peanuts strip had Snoopy struggling to write a novel.

A few years later, DC and writer Len Wein used the text from Snoopy’s story as the captions for a 2-page Batman story illustrated by Walter Simonson.

Same. It’s the same way we were taught to draw a capital A.

Marvel Comics have proven with the Ultimate line that they can put top talent on an imprint.

Now that the comics fall under Feige, and he’s doing far fewer shows, he (or someone close in his office) could shepherd the line.

I’m not going to dismiss an MCU line bc the early 00s adaptations were bad

#Marvel should have a separate MCU comic line/continuity. These are the fill-in-the-blanks stories between movies. Overseen by Feige/Marvel Studios.

Make them cheap single issues ($1.99) with cheap paper/coloring. Then the tpb is high quality. First issue free to D+ subscribers on Marvel Unlimited.
