American writer and artist Jack Kirby. July 22, 1949.

When the NYT normalized it. See the NYT is supposedly liberal (it's part of their act) and if the "liberal" NYT says it's normal then it must be.

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?" So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Joel got a reply.

Found another noir for @seanhowe.bsky.social. THE SCARLET HOUR, Michael Curtiz. (1956). Based on a story by cartoonist, animator, gag writer, screen writer, director (ARTISTS AND MODELS) Frank Tashlin. Ideal Hollywood Hills setting. www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/oM4Mz7...

This must stop.

@seanhowe.bsky.social was asking for film noir he might not have seen. Here's something you don't see every day. From Finland. Aki Kaurismäki's Nordic Noir adaptation of Hamlet. Even better than it sounds. rarefilmm.com/2025/11/haml...

Interview with Jerry Perles. Perhaps of interest to @bobdeis.bsky.social @jlmast.bsky.social @michaeljvassallo.bsky.social kwakk.info/tout/?s=Jerr... Considerable Goodman content.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The Post of The Year!

Maybe the best version of Master of War ever. Amazing from an 83 year old. youtu.be/4_tjVWuD-A4?...

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

I cannot fucking believe this is actually a conversation they broadcast. Just kill them? But Matthew Dowd was fired why?

Reminder that the revised editions are available pay-anything-even-nothing for two more weeks. (There's also a bunch of Kirby in Looming Narrative (The Demon; Devil Dinosaur; The Guardian) and a smidge in Examining New X-Men (particularly his Magneto)). ko-fi.com/travishedgec...

Yankee Beria. God help us all.

ACTION COMICS #47 (April 1942): 80 year old Superman comics telling readers who the real "super" villains are.

I just finished the behemoth (treasury-like trim size, 415 pages) that is the Atlas Artist Edition No. 2 - featuring Al Williamson: “The City that Time Forgot” and Other Stories. Incredible book - so happy to have been able to buy it at a 35% discount some months ago. Highest recommendation!

Liberace and Bob Dylan; in a place called “The 80s.”

🚨NEW: Zohran Mamdani has won the democratic primary for Mayor of New York, beating Andrew Cuomo and stunning the nation with this victory. REPOST to congratulate Mamdani on making history!

The victim was not the subject of any warrant, but just a random grab based on racial profiling. He was in the process of applying for citizenship. That means he had no criminal record as was here legally as a permanent resident. santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

Bipartisanship is dead and I have never been so happy about anything in my life.

@bobdeis.bsky.social Not comics or men's adventure but perhaps of interest to Bob Deis. flashbak.com/soft-core-ha...

The factual record:

From: DICK AYERS Date: Tue, 8 Dec 1998 "So... regarding those Kirby / Ayers signatures... I always put the signatures on our work together just as I always sign my work. I noticed that the "whiteouts" were happening and it sure didn't make me happy."

Lee began not only signing the Ditko-Lee stories (but no others in the genres) but began to systematically remove/cover up the "Kirby & Ayers" signatures on many stories signed that way by Ayers. Lee also began placing blurb promotions for Ditko-Lee stories on front covers drawn by Jack Kirby.

After Lee took over the popular title began to sell poorly and was soon cancelled.
