Here are the two most notorious credit-grabbers of their respective fields, Stan Lee and Bob Clampett, in a brief interview together, fifty years ago.

Ask a Loyalist
Willful ignorance starts at the top with Trump and reaches down to everyone who voted for him.
Green Light From Go Comics
Yesterday’s Crankshaft comic strip is one to put a smile on Silver Age comic book fans. I’m always pleased to know there are comic strip artists who are comic book fans.

The comic book that’s referenced is Green Lantern #19, from 1963, with cover art by Gil Kane (pencil) and Murphy Anderson (ink).

I was pleased to see the credit card expiration dates for licensing comics on GoComics have been updated. Previously, 2028 was the last year that was accepted, and the one credit card I have that worked is about to renew.
The copyright information wasn’t included along with the image, so I had to compose it, based on previously licensed strips.
Copyright details for your order are as follows: * There can be no changes, deletions or additions to the material.

If you follow the link to the GoComics page, you will see that I didn’t change the strip but I did modify its presentation. Making it vertical was, I felt, essential for its viewing here.
TACO Tuesday Monday
Trump always chickens out. He talked tough on Saturday, then today he’s clucking a different tune.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social site that the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war.

Who’s he kidding? There aren’t any ongoing talks. He’s been all over the place with self-contradictory outbursts. We are at the mercy of an irrational, impulsive narcissist.
Trump is a freak who can’t stop himself. He is who he is. So I blame Mitch McConnell, the Supreme Court, and most of all, the millions of stupid American voters who put Trump back in power. They have made me very cynical.
Next Stop: Gallifrey
When the Doctor was last seen here, he had bid a bittersweet farewell to his traveling companion, Sarah Jane Smith. The reason for the parting was that he had been called back to Gallifrey, the home planet of the Time Lords. Which is where we find him now.
Sleeping Sickness
This is my second cold in six months. Both times came after being indoors, in a crowded public place, with many people. No surprise there. As then, I checked for Covid with a negative result.
Yesterday, I must have slept 16 hours. Today, I’m on track for doing the same. This afternoon I’m finally starting to feel better.
In other personal medical news, there’s that pre-cancerous spot on my ankle. Here’s how it looked shortly after being treated with liquid nitrogen, and how it looks now. Which is pretty much how it looked when I first showed it to the dermatologist.
P.S. Colleen Doran reports that she’s tested positive for Covid after appearing at GalaxyCon in Richmond. It seems these formerly seasonal viruses have become a year-round threat.
