Burgess Meredith as The Penguin, with red-haired accomplice holding him, braces themselves for something bad in an episode of Batman ‘66.

Bracing for that Friday night news dump.

Same, Snoopy. Same.

Played by the uncle you only see every few years at weddings and funerals.

NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardia holds his glasses in his hands as he speaks, looking a bit like Lou Costello.

The thing with this Fiorello La Guardia biography is that I often hear and picture Lou Costello as I read.

I probably should have put some links up with that nice review, just in case.

Cesar Romero as The Joker sits next to henchgal Queenie and another henchman on the set of a Gotham-based television broadcast, turning it into a live game show called "What's My Crime?"

Coming to you live from Blueski.

Comic panel of Jimmy Olsen in the Daily Planet’s Flying Newsroom. Jimmy is afraid he’s become radioactive and is reaching for Perry White’s Geiger counter, which he said Perry used to go uranium hunting yesterday.

Ah, an editor’s favorite pastime - uranium hunting.

A message saying “I bought your new book today and it is amazing a like amazing beyond words. I chair the special education team at my school and do a lot of emotional regulation and calming strategies for our kids in crisis and this book is going to become a staple in the office. I really cannot tell you how much I love it and how perfect it is.”

Stack of books titled “Look Out! Here Comes…The Mope!” by Dave Dellecese. Pink cover with a muppety doodle of a furry monster angrily walking off.

Getting a message like this means a lot.

Wow. I had no idea but it sounds like a very clever setup. I'd love to know if it had any impact on their views of the past hearing it straight from Eddie Haskell himself.

Addendum: I think at some point we have to reckon with the fact that a large swath of people have completely disengaged with what reality was and now chase an imaginary reality they've decided is their own past. I'm being Captain Obvious by saying it's a large part of why we're where we are today.

I have older relatives who still say things like "why can't it be like it was on Leave it to Beaver, like it was when I grew up?" and I'm often the bad guy pointing out their lives were not at all like that and neither were the lives of others around them that they felt they were missing out on. 2/2

While working on my Master's I took a fantastic course on Media & Nostalgia that examined the way TV, movies, etc often was blurred with the actual memories of those consuming it, leading to confusion not just of history, but their own lives.

"Leave it to Beaver" and that TV era came up often. 1/2

I think Pedro Pascal’s mustache has now reached Cesar Romero levels of non-negotiable.

Jimmy Olsen comics forever setting up unrealistic expectations for journalism careers. In my times in a newsroom, never once did I turn into a genie or become a giant turtle boy!

Copy of a Silver Age era 80 page giant comic book featuring Jimmy Olsen’s Greatest Scoops sits on a table next to a School House Rock mug filled with coffee.

Sunday morning #coffeeandcomics - Superman’s pal edition.

Drop something GREEN 🦖🐍🖤🐉🐊

Bucky Barnes standing by a motorcycle and holding up a weapon in Thunderbolts.

Checking out “Thunderbolts” and I can already tell it’s fiction because it features a sitting Congressman doing something about rogue government administrators.

Coffee poured from a pot into a black mug.

🎶 I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive, and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup 🎶

It was so good!

A play I’ll that says “Hadestown - Teen Edition.”

Went to a high school production of Hadestown tonight. The musicians terrific, production design amazing, the young performers incredible. I left reminded of the importance of art (whether making or enjoying) even (or especially) in, dark times.

Awful times for everyone.

Just his general shrugging in the last day at the prospects of deadly repercussions to people for his actions.

He absolutely wants an attack on domestic soil to exploit.

Homer Simpson in winter coat and hat stands by a calendar that says “Smarch” as the month. The meme says “Lousy Smarch Weather.”

Lousy Smarch Weather

The disappointment I felt thinking I had left the banana at home.

The joy I felt when I got to the office, reached into my coat pocket and discovered it was there.

Living in a world narrated by William Dozier.

Silver Age comic book cover of World's Finest 129 (1962). Joker and Luthor are revealed from what looks like a floating pocket watch. Batman and Robin trip over the watch's coils and Superman, swooping in, is essentially vaporized by Luthor's ray.

Actually kind of horrific for a Silver Age cover when you think about it.

Michael Cera as George Michael Bluth on Arrested Development, forcibly laughing. Closed caption says -[forced laughing]

Another day begins…

Vincent Price makes a soufflé.

"What is it good for?

"Absolutely nothin'."
