THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Barb and I shared the Burger King Monster Menu for lunch: Jack-O-Lantern Whopper, Vampire Nuggets, Mummy Mozzarella Fries, Franken-Candy Sundae. Just $17. Burger, fries and sundae were tasty and enough for both of us. 10-10-25

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: This Halloween dress was a huge hit at my OutSupport Medina adult group meeting. Now I have to find an equally cute Thanksgiving dress for our November meeting. I’m most definitely feeling the pressure here. 10-9-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Sleuth Comics #2 spotlights writer/editor Christopher Mills’ terrific takes on public-domain heroes Black Owl, Ms. Fury, Green Giant and Zip-Jet. It’s like finding an issue you missed of an old favorite. Great fun. 10-7-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: The A.I.M. Collection: Artifacts, Memorabilia, and Ephemera from Across the Universe is a silly entertaining faux-auction catalog offering Marvel doodads from a Black Widow Sting to a Statue of Knonshu. It made me smile. 10-6-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Riverdale. After someone I respect suggested I give this blasphemous take on the Archie characters a second chance, I binge-watching the first season. I found it intriguing enough to continue watching. That was a surprise. 10-5-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: The Lowdown (Disney/Hulu). Ethan Hawke is great as a financially struggling bookseller and investigative reporter who is up against a rich, powerful and murderous family. A somewhat tarnished hero for our times. 10-4-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: The Franken-Candy Sunday. From Burger King’s “Monster Menu,” it’s soft serve vanilla ice cream with Oreo crumbles, purple syrup and purple and green chocolate popping candy. Just the right size for a delicious treat. 10-3-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Wheel of Fortune. Christina Derevjanik won a million dollars plus on the October 1 episode. That exciting moment was also Ryan Seacrest’s first million dollar winner. He and Vanna White were visibly moved. Tears all around. 10-1-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Doug Wagner. I sort of stumbled into following this writer. His quirky comedy/horror/noir comics, such as I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer and Klik Klik Boom, speak to me. If I see his name on a title, I’ll read it. 9-30-25.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Cryptology. Having enjoyed other works by editor Peter Normanton, subscribing to this quarterly magazine of retro horror was a no-brainer. Terrific articles and visuals on comic books, movies and more. Highly recommended. 9-29-25.
