The ONLY people we see with copies of the Minutemen photo are Hollis Mason and Sally Jupiter. The photo isn't even published in Hollis' book Under The Hood, a book about his superhero career. They were private keepsakes, not press photos. (4/6)

Silk Spectre calls it a photo session and worries that her hair will look all right, and Hooded Justice says he doesn't go for razzle dazzle, but at no point is it said that they're publicity photos, that they're being sent to magazines or newspapers, or anything of the sort. (3/6)

Nite-Owl pays the photographer for eight prints, because they're just meant for the group as souvenirs. At no point is it said that the photos are for public consumption. (2/6)

So I just watched the first episode of #StarfleetAcademy, and so far it's... okay. I'm not really in love with any of the new characters yet, but hey, it's got Paul Giamatti as a Klingon/Tellarite villain and Robert Picardo back as the Doctor, so I'll stick around for them if nothing else. #StarTrek

...Claremont or the editor overruled him & included a sound effect in a big explosion in X-Men #119. (Even though the caption says it's too high-pitched to be heard.)

I think when we DO see him do stuff like that, it's way more obscure & picayune than we think, like in an FF caption for a panel with a big explosion where it said something like "We won't insult your intelligence by putting a sound effect on here." That arose from an X-Men panel where...

And as I just discovered, Katherine LaNasa (Charge Nurse Dana Evans) was previously married to Dennis Hopper and French Stewart, and is currently married to MELROSE PLACE's Grant Show. That's wild! (3/3)

Fiona Dourif (Dr. Cassie McKay) is the daughter of Brad Dourif from ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, and he guest-starred on THE PITT as her character's father. (2/3)

I've been doing a deep dive on THE PITT since its S2 premiere last week, & I've been surprised to discover that several of the actors on the show are related to OTHER famous actors in real life.
For instance, Taylor Dearden (Dr. Mel King) is the daughter of Bryan Cranston of BREAKING BAD. (1/3)

His COLUMBO episode is one of my favorite endings from the show, although sadly they missed a primo opportunity by giving Dick Van Dyke a full beard instead of a van dyke.

Just finished watching for tonight's Dick Van Dyke Centenary Celebration: 1963's BYE BYE BIRDIE and his 1974 COLUMBO guest spot "Negative Reaction." A nice primer of the depth and breadth of his talents.

I can think of two examples from the New Teen Titans: The first time GP drew the birth of the Titans of Myth in NEW TITANS #51 and when one of the Titans disrobed to show a flashback in NEW TEEN TITANS #9.

Unearthin' a gun & blastin' herself?
Who's makin' Cyclops whine for three panels?
