Hello Ground!

So sorry for your loss. A shining light in the educational world. A true diamond.

Still reeling from the news about lovely Dawn Cox. A stalwart from the early days of EduTwitter, she left her mark everywhere she went. A deeply funny, deeply caring person, who will be missed enormously.

Friends who knew Dawn Cox - either on social media or in real life may not have heard the awful news that she was involved in a serious car accident a few days ago.
I'm heartbroken to say that Dawn passed away this morning. She will be remembered with so much love.

So Daredevil #136 from 1976 accidentally predicts the invention and use of generative AI to steal and create performances from actors.

Black and white original comic art board showing Daredevil fighting a huge alligator down in the sewers (I think). In the background you can see some man with his hands around a woman's neck as she's down on her knees and pulling at his arms.

A page in Jerome Opeña's sketchbook showing Ghost Rider up top on his motorcycle going off page to the left. Then you see a crouching Spider-Man. Next is Hulk and Wolverine below and front. Wolverine is holding up his left arm with all 3 claws out.

After hearing the answer given by the subject of their joint interrogation, Batman confirms with Mister Terrific (Michael Holt) that they have what they need.

My final Giffen read of the day (as it was the man’s birthday) is TRENCHER, a book I quit after 3 issues. It only last 4. And a X-Mas special.

As big a fan as I was (am), Keith’s latest change in art style l turned me off in 1993.
Today… I kinda like it.

This is not a good thing.

A large galaxy on the right, with two much smaller companion galaxies to the left at 10 o’clock and 9 o’clock. The large galaxy resembles a speckled wheel, with an oval outer ring and a small, off-center inner ring. The outer ring contains pink plumes like wheel spokes, with dusty blue regions in between. The pink areas are silicate dust, while the blue areas are pockets of young stars and hydrocarbon dust. The inner ring is smoother, filled in with a more uniform pale pink. This smaller ring is interwoven with thin, orange-pink threads. On the galaxy's right edge, a bright white star with 8 diffraction spikes shines. The two companion galaxies to the left, one above the other, are about the same size and both spiral galaxies. The galaxy above is a reverse S shape but similar in coloring and texture as the large ring galaxy. The galaxy below is smoother and largely white, with a blue tinge. The background is black and full of more distant, orange-red colored galaxies of various sizes.

The cover illustration of the December 19, 1942 New Yorker. A woman, jauntily attired in cat-eye sunglasses, a stocking cap, flowing white scarf and red sweater rides a bicycle towards the observer, a recently-purchased christmas tree balanced on the front basket of her bike. A black scottie dog runs along at her side. Behind her on the road, the rural farm house where she purchased her tree, with a sign for cider for sale and bushels of apple at the front. It is snowing lightly, and there are no cars on the road, and only two figure -- perhaps another woman shopper talking to the tree sales person -- stand in the background. The title, date, and price of the magazine are at the top. The predominant colors are green and red over the gray of the road and off-white snow, with pastels of the farmstead highlighting. The mood is of independence, self-reliance, and stubborn holiday cheer persisting in any circumstance.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the December 19, 1942 cover of The New Yorker, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions. Gas and tire rationing had begun that year. #bikesky
