Did Colleen find the missing Mitch McConnell?
No, it’s Super-Turtle, worn out from helping to replenish America’s nearly depleted stock of long-range missiles.
I’m getting packed for the annual NCS meeting and awards dinner in Columbus. I’ll post when/if I can from there.
I have a gift for Colleen that I know she will appreciate. Joe Sinnott’s illustrated life of Pope John XXIII, a work that he was rightly very proud of.
A while ago, I mentioned a possible scheduling conflict with my trip to Ohio this week. I was supposed to provide transportation for someone who was scheduled to have jury duty. There was concern it might overlap with my departure, but fortunately the court canceled the jury duty appointment.
This collection of the seventeen Fleischer/Famous Studios Superman cartoons appears to have been ripped from the Warner Bros. Blu-ray release, rather than being a fan’s AI restoration of Warner’s earlier DVD release.
By coincidence, the first cartoon in the playlist, ‘Showdown’, happens to be the first one I recall seeing as a child, in black & white. This link shows the playlist, which is something that YouTube’s embedded player used to do.

For sticklers, here is the correct order for the titles, listed by their release dates:

Isn’t everybody tired of this back-and-forth on Iran?
Somehow, until now I hadn’t watched the 2019 Amazon Prime 6-episode adaptation of Good Omens, the 1990 novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. At heart, it’s a very entertaining and amusing bromance, with exquisite production quality. The actors were quite obviously having a very good time.
I wanted to watch the series because this week I’ll be seeing Colleen Doran (DOR-an) at the National Cartoonists Society annual meeting and Reuben Awards dinner. This year it’s being held in Columbus, Ohio, in association with the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.
Colleen wrote and illustrated the graphic novel adaptation of Good Omens.

Regarding certain allegations against Neil Gaiman, all I can say is that Colleen had and has absolutely nothing to do with any of that business.
