Also Captain America was created before the US entered WWII and it was a big deal. The men who created Captain America were Jewish (although I don't think that was public knowledge at the time) so having a new comic book character debut punching Hitler when not all Americans were on board with "Hitler is bad" was a big deal.
I think it was pretty well known at the time that most comics writers and artists were Jewish. At least, other Jewish people knew -- not sure if everyone else would have bothered to ask about it. I mean, Superman came to America from a foreign place, changed his name, tried to fit in and hide his true identity -- Jewish readers knew what that was about.
I wanted him to stay around forever, but he's already gone.
Oh Strix! I so totally understand. I went through this with my mom. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I'm sorry, Strix. I hope this move eases the stress on your family and that he finds some comfort there.
Oh, Strix, it's so awful. We went through it with my mom too. The nursing home really is the right call, even if it doesn't always feel that way. I'm so sorry!
Strix that is so hard! And there is no good way of dealing with it.
belated congrats to NoiseDesign!
I'm sorry, Strix. How hard for all of you.
Hoping the path forward brings you clarity and strength, Strix.
My SIL brought home 2 4 week old kittens from a litter a neighbor found dumped by the road. She looks happy as a clam, even with the prospect of bottle feeding. My brother...knows not to fight this. Now up to 4 cats, one dog, one teen. I'm laughing my ass off.
(Lisah, they look like Magellan.)
I'm caught up on Empire. Not to take away from all the WTFBBQ moments, for lo there are many, but my favorite detail may be
the string ensemble playing White Wedding before Laura was supposed to walk down the aisle.
