People were putting down a cloth on a display table, and, somehow, a cat appeared underneath it. (Echo was sitting on the top pedestal of a nearby cat tree when she saw the cloth being opened, and jumped down to investigate.)

This is Sherlock, one of two bookstore cats, who is very shy, especially this night when it was raining and storming outside. Fortunately, I was able to get both sides.

Echo (the floofy black kitty) likes to balance on the back of chairs. She also thinks that any seat that isn't occupied is hers. Nico (the soft grey kitty) is always curious and wants to see what Echo is doing.

Loki, God of Stories, committed "slash" upon the Internet, probably by writing and posting some Steve/Tony slash fiction.

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond. (If you know, you know why.)

Sean Connery's younger brother Neil, from the Italian production of "Operation Kid Brother", an attempt to capitalize on the Bond mania.

Not off hand. I don't think she's appeared in any DC-based novels, which would be the only other venue possible. About the only thing I can think of Misty Lee, the wife of Zatanna's writer Paul Dini. Lee is a professional stage magician.

A bit surprised that Marvel would release a figure for such a niche character like the Hypno Hustler, but, there it is. This may be something I spend some Christmas money on. I'll see if my favorite local comic store can order it. For The Collection, of course. #hypnohustler

Hey, look what I found! I was going through a binder in the bookcase, and found the one "Give Me One Evening" ads with the female hypnotist. Granted, its not a very good image, and not the best source: its probably from a comic book from the 1960s.

HypnoMedia @hypnomedia.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

"Love and Passion Under Hypnosis" from Playgirl Magazine, circa 1956-1957 It promises a lot but does not deliver. The enclosed articles on hypnosis and purported pictures of hypnotized women are both pretty generic, and the layout and production is low quality.

There were several versions of this ad, including one where the hypnotist was a woman, hypnotizing a man: it may be the only such one, it was certainly the only one I ever found. I gave a copy of one of these (mounted and framed) ads to Wiseguy a couple of years ago, just for grins and giggles.

HypnoMedia @hypnomedia.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

"Successful Hypnotism" by Joan Brandon was another book on hypnosis I can identify from the front cover in one of these ads. Joan Brandon, herself, is a story in her own right. She was possibly the best known female stage hypnotist of her time, a decade before Pat Collins.

HypnoMedia @hypnomedia.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I was surprised at the quality of the text, however. Hypnosis is described as a joint endevour, with a teacher-pupil type of relationship. It sticks with both the progessive relaxation and hand levitation inductions and a count-down deepener, but does a good job explaining everything.

110

HypnoMedia @hypnomedia.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

The text is tight: it skips any history lessons and delves right into the hows and whys. There are short chapters on the setting, pre-talk and testing before going into inductions, deepeners, and depth tests, then waking the subject. There's also a chapter on mechanical aids.

"How to Hypnotize" by Bradford Chambers. This was a common ad on the backs of 1950's and 1960's comics and magazines. (There were several such ads, but this is one where I can accurately determine the book being sold.) It is a slender book, only about 50 pages, 'photographically illustrated'.

Another strange entry: Тайна гипноза (The Secrets of Hypnosis) from 1995. 470 pages of densely packed Cyrillic text, all capitalized. I would love to get it translated. I picked it up from John King Books in Detroit, back when they actually had a 'hypnosis' section (its now sadly empty).

Hypnotica hypnotizes the staff nurse to have her remove their friend to their waiting van, and off they go. Hypnotica, for an unexplained reason, is reluctant to use her hypnotic gaze, and says she is "cursed".

The overall story is about a punk goth band who is going on a road trip. One of their friends was committed to an asylum because of false accusations of self-harm, and the band and friends decide to rescue her and bring her along. Enter, Hypnotica.
