Yes, you do.
I'm still pissed that when the Boston Phoenix did away with their "1 In 10" gay lifestyle section and never brought DYKES... over to the regular paper.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Hec, I think you'd really like House of Sugar. It was published in the local weekly and is soon coming out in book form. The author is often talks about music and 40s movies: [link]

Everybody'd probably like it, but it often made me think of Hec.

Thanks, Sue! That's a great strip. Reminded me of early Lynda Barry, but with a very distinct slant. I have to say I concur with her wistfulness about 40s hairstyles and rats.

Yeah, it definitely reminds me of Lynda Barry, but more with wistful than dark turns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Namor gets a stamp? And it's old school Wolverine?

I'm unsurprised about Namor, since he and Captain American and the Human Torch were the core original three Marvel characters revived from the 40s. But I'm boggled that Spider-Woman gets one, and that Elektra gets two. I mean, Elektra's worthy, but where the hell is Ororo? She's the nearest thing Marvel's got to Wonder Woman.

The Torch has a history longer than the Fantastic Four?
And as for Namor...who likes him? He still has a comic? Pfft. Homewrecker.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Torch has a history longer than the Fantastic Four?
Oh yeah. That's why they used his body for the Vision. Or something. I can't keep track of the continuity, but he dates back to the forties. I mean, Johnny Storm is a different Human Torch, but there was one way back when and he was recycled into the Marvel continuity.
And as for Namor...who likes him?
Well, he's always been a dick.

Okay, so Johnny is a different torch, how was the old one recycled in? Is that the Vision thing? I need a nap.
