Not a full turnover from the last post, what with the time spent watching the playoffs & the World Series.

Current read. We were fortunate enough to see “Spamalot” 3 weeks after its Broadway opening in (Can it be possible?) 2005. This delightfully chronicles the journey @ericidle.bsky.social and his collaborators took to get there.

Snapped on a recent visit to Hollywood Forever Cemetery: The bronze plaque marking Don Adams’ grave appears to be waiting for a new headstone. A fan has taped a small Inspector Gadget toy to the support bar.

Current read/used bookstore find. Contains issues 5 - 8 from 1940. Superman in his formative days when he mainly battled gangsters, racketeers and corrupt politicians. Luthor and some thinly veiled Nazis show up to take their lumps too. #Superman #goldenagecomics

The Hilbert Museum at Chapman University has two backgrounds from one of these cartoons, “By Word of Mouse”, painted by Irv Wyner from Hawley Pratt’s layouts. Charming “cartoon modern” from 1954.

The Harley Quinn Season 5 finale (Ep. 10 - “The Mess Is the Point”) is now streaming on Max. It’s my final pre-retirement* screen credit, the last episode of animated television I worked on. I hope you’ll watch & enjoy! Asterisk explained in the comments.

Saw “The Day the Earth Blew Up” last night. Easy in this day and age to forget the delight of seeing hand-drawn animation on the big screen. This brings it back. Thumbs up!

I wonder if she still has her grandfather’s Buckeye Newshawk Award?

From the first panel of today’s “Dick Tracy.”

Last night’s Comfort Food Cinema: W. S. Van Dyke’s “After the Thin Man” (1936). The first of 5 high-quality sequels featuring the flawless chemistry of William Powell & Myrna Loy as Nick & Nora Charles.

These last few years on social media I’ve been in the habit of changing out my banner photo frequently. I think I’m going to keep my current one up for the foreseeable future. It sums up the current moment pretty well.
