The author also wrote "Donovan's Brain," which I have not read, but it was been made into a couple great b-movies.

After attending his panels many times, this was the year my brother and I decided to wait for hours to meet Kevin Eastman ( www.instagram.com/KevinEastman... ). His reputation as a sweet guy is true. We reminisced about the sorely missed Words and Pictures museum.

"...your eye like a big pizza pie" was a risky line in 1953. What if pizza didn't catch on and was a fad, like television?

What they don't tell you about Mary is that she wasn't supposed to go home after the sheep incident. She was evading punishment. That's right: she was on the lamb.

In May 2009 two comic strips that are published right next to each other in the Boston Globe ran strikingly similar cartoons about pink snails meeting on a path and sharing a one-line gag.

Scan of two adjacent one-panel comic strips featuring pink snails talking to one another. The framing and colors of each is strikingly similar.

The first comic is Rhymes with Orange by Hilary B. Price. In it, the snail on the right has an uncurled shell and is saying, "I just had the best massage!"

The second comic is F Minus by Tony Carrillo. In it, the snail on the right has left a slime trail that reveals it has traveled a short distance to the right before turning around and traveling left again. The snail on the left is saying, "Dude! Long time no see!"

I don't know who at Archie Comics ( @archiecomics.bsky.social ) needs to hear it, but Ron Cacace ( @rawnzilla.bsky.social ) and Vincent Lovallo's ( @vincentlovallo.bsky.social ) Bite-Sized Archie is one of the best things the publisher has done since Pep Comics.
