Today is the birthday of cartoonist, illustrator, writer, & teacher Elton Fax (Oct. 9, 1909-May 13, 1993). He worked on pulp magazines & comic books, and in 1942, created the comic strip Susabelle about a young girl. He wrote and illustrated over 30 books on various topics, including Black history.

The cover to a book he wrote called "Contemporary Black Leaders." It shows sketches of Malcolm X, Coretta Scott King, Thurgood Marshall, Fannie Lou Hamer, Charles Evers, Bayard Rustin, and more.

The cover he did for a Western pulp magazine that shows a cowboy holding his gun and crouching behind a bar during a gunfight.

A sample strip from Susabelle. She is slicing onions and its making her cry so she goes to put on a gas mask

For a director who's been dead 46 years, Alfred Hitchcock seems oddly well represented with still-living leading players: Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, Diane Baker, Julie Andrews, Vera Miles, Bruce Dern, Shirley MacLaine, William Devane, Veronica Cartwright, and let's not forget Jerry Mathers.

Yeah, I know that's Daphne in place of the regular singer because my daughter grew up loving the Hex Girls

And now my daughter wants to watch the Phantom episode of Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, although I'm pretty sure she just wants to watch it because the Hex Girls show up.

I get why some people may have a hard time watching a silent film, but this one is soooooo good.

Man, I love this film. The sets, the costumes, the acting...such a great silent movie.

My daughter made dinner. Not sure how this will sound, but I'm so glad I married an Indian woman. The food my daughter makes is so much better than I grew up with...

Crackers, a plate of soft boiled eggs, kimchi, spinach, cucumber, and another plate of sardines.

I think I agree because I don't think we are capable, even in the far future, of every implemting such a punishment fairly, so I don't think it will practically exist.

I just meant the basic concept that if you commit a heinous crime like premeditated murder or rape, the idea of the death penalty sounds fair to me. But I also think we are incapable of ever implementing that in a fair way because racism is so baked in to our 'justice' system.

Also, their Scooby-Doo comics. Whether it's the Batman crossover ones, or the DC crossover ones, or just their regular comics, their Scooby-Doo comics have consistently been awesome.

I sadly slept on GREEN LANTERN: THE ANIMATED SERIES because my nose was put out of joint by the CGI and I missed out on a really cool series. Thankfully I've worked to rectify that. The comic was also a lot of fun, as I hazily recall.

Going back to the Batman Animated Series, these adaptations of their cartoons by DC have consistently been among my favorite superhero comics. Just really fun, standalone stories.

Picked up a full run of this series last year. Never read it before but I did enjoy the cartoon and DC has a good track record when it comes to comic adaptations of their cartoons.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series #0 (2012). The cover shows Hal Jordan as GL.

Today is the birthday of actor Kirk Alyn, born John Feggo Jr. (Oct. 8, 1910-March 14, 1999), who played two DC Comics heroes in movie serials of the 1940s & 50s, Superman and Blackhawk.

My daughter is home from college for a few days, which means it's time to watch some Over the Garden Wall together.

I really love Dick Briefer's funny Frankenstein strips. Some people prefer the later, more serious Frankensteins he did. I think those people are peculiar.

Stellar cast in this fourth season episode I'm watching: Timothy Dalton, Beverly D'Angelo, Dennis Farina, Reginald VelJohnson, Lila Rochon, Charles Fleischer, & Wolfgang Puck, because sure, why not.
