Erich Mees

And the horrors continue...

A two-panel meme with the first panel showing a man standing with his arms folded and a frustrated expression on his face; in the second panel, he throws his arms up and says "I GUESS".

I fear that we may have gone from bad to worse...

The opening page of Son of Ambush Bug #1; the scene shows Ambush Bug in the office of his agent (with a sign on his door reading "Solly Berlin, Comic Booking Agent), complaining about his lack of work. The page is autographed by artist Keith Giffen.

And just for the record, the four shows & actresses were: Shawn Weatherly in "Baywatch," Nancy Everhard in "Reasonable Doubts," Catherine Kellner in "High Incident," and Felicite du Jou in "Waking the Dead."

Random TV thought: If I had a nickel for every show I've seen where a recurring female character gets injured, seems to be recovering fine, and then suddenly dies of an embolism, I'd have four nickels. Which IS a lot, and it's weird that it happened four times.

Powerful, moving songs, but in a better world, there'd be no need for them to exist because their subject would still be alive.

Regardless of what happens with the physical memorial, she will not be forgotten.

Perfectly understandable; once the original misidentified photo was first shared, it circulated across the web pretty quickly.

Just a quick correction: That photo is not Renee Good. When the news first broke and people started searching for images of her, they found an old Facebook post announcing Good as 1 of 4 winners of a poetry prize, with photos of all four poets. This is Gabriela Szczepankiewicz, one of the other 3.

The splash page of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #3; the image shows a completely red-tinted scene of a sinister-looking castle on top of a hill with a winding road leading to it, with a close-up of a man's screaming face in the foreground at the bottom of the panel. The page is autographed by writer/artist Jim Steranko, signed with the inscription "To Erich, Steranko."

Yes, it IS so hard for her to say she was wrong, because admitting so would open her up to consequences (we can only hope).

Outrageous and appalling.

RIP Slava Tsukerman, director of the cult classic "Liquid Sky." I know what DVD I'm watching tonight...

Goodness! This is Fraught with Portent!

Renee Nicole Good.

A wonderful artist, gone far too soon.

Think of the typical driver. Now imagine adding the vertical dimension.

A panel from the story "Faced with Horror" from the 1950s EC comic Crime SuspenStories #3, with art by Wally Wood. A gangster threatens his associate while holding a gun to his face: SAM: Oh! Runnin' out on me, eh, Willie? Well listen...we're in this together...all the way! WILLIE: Okay, Sam! Okay! In the background, a pin-up calendar is on the wall, with an image of a woman with long dark hair wearing a fishnet body stocking. The pin-up is captioned "Tatjana" (after Wood's then-girlfriend and future wife Tatjana Weintraub).

With the recent passing of Tatjana Wood, I dug out my Russ Cochran hardcovers of Crime SuspenStories to scan her cameo as a calendar girl in Crime SuspenStories #3: "Faced with Horror" with art by her future husband Wallace Wood.

The opening page of Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #48, with a splash page showing various images of Superman taking Lois through time to impersonate three historical/legendary figures: Helen of Troy (with the alternate spelling "Hellene" to work in the traditional Superman "two Ls" motif), Cinderella, and Florence Nightingale. The page is autographed by Ambush Bug creator Keith Giffen, signing it "Irwin Schwab" (Ambush Bug's alter ego).

Signed comic of the day: Lois Lane #48 signed by Keith Giffen, signing in character as Ambush Bug's secret identity "Irwin Schwab." Backstory: The Ambush Bug entry in DC's"Who's Who" encyclopedia revealed that this Lois Lane issue factored into Ambush Bug's origin, so I asked Giffen to sign it.

I hate that I was able to read that. (Count yourself lucky if you couldn't make it out; I'm not going to quote it.)

But everybody wants prosthetic buttholes on their real holes!

On a second read, I'm concerned about why the article mentions that a family lawyer states that Renee and Becca Good were partners but not legally married; is it just for the sake of accuracy, or is a potential custody battle in the future? (Please don't let her son have to go through that as well.)

The cover of Image! 30h Anniversary Anthology #10; the cover image shows a bearded man wearing heavy gauntlets perched on the piping of an elaborate mechanism and pulling wires from it, with three small fox-like creatures climbing on both him and the mechanism. The cover is autographed by artist Sanford Greene.

Heartbreaking.

Farewell to the legendary Neil Sedaka. Is it wrong that I want to remember him with one of his most embarrassing (but entertaining) moments, his appearance in the cheesy movie "Playgirl Killer"?
