Kohner Vari-Vue blocks circa 1961. These are plastic, look like tvs. These are flicker or lenticular toys, allowing kids to shift between images forming a short (maybe 5 image) proto-gif.

The neat part is they changed the ending of the film to be less ambiguous - the Palomino crew go in, thru, and beyond the Black Hole - but they all come out just a little different /😀

Hi, I'm Lloyd Bridges
Just like my character Mike Nelson on Sea Hunt doesn't need a shirt, the phrase 'and the sky is a hazy shade of winter' needs no hyphens. This is because the adjective phrase follows the noun. The song title, A Hazy Shade of Winter, also needs no hyphens.

Hello, I'm Lloyd Bridges
If you see your reflection in 'snow-covered' hills, remember 'snow-covered' gets a hyphen. If 'the hills are snow covered', then no hyphen is used. No hyphen for 'mirror in the sky' or 'child within my heart' as those are noun phrases.

The Uncanny X-Men had a big influence on comics.
One seems to the general decline of the non-powered supporting character.

Finally getting around to watching Gerry Andersin's 1969 The Secret Service.
Its very much like the Avengers or Man fron UNCLE - slightly zany and lots of fun.
It uses live action as 'special effects' but is mostly admirably realistic supermarionation.

Happy Superbowl Sunday. Here's Yogi Bear in a 1969 Giveaway comic - March of Comics 337. Western's March of Comics (recall March of Dimes, and comics had cost a dime) were massively circulated, some with 5 milion copies. Sears shoe dept was a big place to get one.

There is a lot in common with Moonie and Bats, including the artwork around 1980, while we kids of the day really knew very little about the Shadow.

Benjamin J Grimm, You're just being obdurate!
- My religion's got nothing to do with it
I had to look this up:
Obdurate is being hardened to appeals, like a stone. Obstinate is stubborning persisting to one's beliefs, even when wrong, due to pride.
Stan Lee had a vocabulary - or a thesaurus.

Daredevil vs Batman
Often this comes up as 'Who would win in a fight' but Daredevil would know Batman is Bruce Wayne (if he's met both guises) and thats a powerful advantage to *avoid* conflict
Also - these two are like alternate umiverse equivalents. Be a great team-up ifnit has not happened yet.

Not only was Freight Train the first regular African-American character on an animated series (Where's Huddles 1970) , but he was voiced by Herbert Jeffrey
Who? Well, he was the Bronze Buckaroo - a baritone Black singing cowboy in all-Black cast Westerns.
