Oh they're not ignorant. They want despotism, assuming Generalissimo Leopard will never eat their face.

It's close to what presidents have been doing for much of my lifetime. Exceed your limits, double-dare anyone to push back.

And yet we've run it for longer than I've been alive without this becoming an issue.

Superman ruins the world! Cain gets snarky! And more odd bits from 1968.

Paul Levitz saw to it they got considerably more from DC than the announced settlement too.

Any time I have to unscrew something (like the cap on my tap filter system) I'm almost petrified if it resists even a little. Obviously if I keep going, I'll break it!

Roy Edroso made a similar point: if Biden loses it's not because he's old, it's because enough of the electorate looked at Trump and decided bringing on a fascist theocracy is no big.

Can't bring myself to visit and witness all the crowing, though it's always fascinating how they tweet in lockstep about so much.

Reminds me of Paul Krugman's recent comment that a lot of influential people he talks to are convinced the grownups in the room will manage a second Trump term, institutional guardrails, everything will be fine.

Not that this changes anything. He's perfectly happy to welcome neo-Nazis and white supremacists to the Cult of Trump.

I'm in complete agreement with everything else in this thread (I've made the same point elsewhere). Not so sure about this. Trump doesn't think about words that deeply — he says whatever works at the time, then lies he never said it.

Bikers. Friendly commies. Mission: Impossible. Some of the influences on comics in '68.

assorted old comic book stories. Except 1968 can't possibly be old, can it?

Joe Simon said in 1968 he wrote this series because he was fascinated by the hippie lifestyle. I'm not sure that's quite the word ...

1968, a lot of comics authors wanted to become "relevant." Probably not the best innovation.

Two good stories by one of my favorite Silver Age authors and one that, while well-meaning, wasn't good at all.
