To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Okey doke. Virginia Dare is indeed Snowbird.

Jon, can I email your profile addy with my college mailing address?
Sure Holli. Didn't you get my email?
Also, thank you!
No problemo.

Thank you, Victor! I have way too much Marvel backstory reading to do for this one -- I hope it will pay off for those of us who mostly know the recent movies as well as the longtime Marvel geeks.
Did you all see that Michael Chabon is doing an actual comic of "The Escapist," the comic within the novel of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? I'm incoherent with psychedness.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Victor, interestedly enough, I passed along that supposition a few weeks ago to the folks running the 1602 website, and they replied that it couldn't be that character, since that character was created after 1969...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I was wondering much the same thing, CaBil, given what Gaiman had said about not including Wolverine, etc. I've got a feeling that the matter of Virginia's identity is not as simple as we think, and may in fact be the point on which the plot of 1602 turns. Her position on the cover is not accidental, IMHO.
Another thing that has me wondering what's really going on is something that Gaiman said in an interview about 1602: (actual spoilery material) He indicated that this is not a "What If" or "Elseworlds" type scenario, which suggests to me that 1602 is more than a simple matter of mapping Marvel characters onto another time and culture.

He is also writing a 16 page back-up tale on the Golden Age Mr. Terrific from the JSA (Justice Society of America, the original DC super-team) in November. It will be JSA All Stars # 7, and it is supposed to be written in the "Golden Age Style" that Chabon depicted in Kavelier and Klay.

True Anne. The second point you made, Marvel reps have been careful to repeat that every chance they have had on several retailer/business forums I am on.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yup. I, even, managed to find that out about 1602. Still cool tho.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Number?
Hey, my first!:)
