How many of these opening night attendees can you name? There I am! No, wait. That’s Ron Howard. Never mind.

Plane Crazy
Hello from 30,000 feet, with free Wi-Fi. Thank you, American Airlines and AT&T!
Here’s some classic Kirby/Sinnott FF art to enjoy.
Colleen to the Rescue!
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.
Hey Beatles/Hey Bingle!
I’m thinking Joe Sinnott probably had Bing Crosby’s Hey Jude/Hey Bing! album in his record collection. 65-year-old Bing covered two Apple label singles from the fall of ’68.
On December 11, 1961, ABC-TV in America broadcast a TV special that Bing had produced in England, in which he performed this humorous rendition of ‘The Sheik of Araby’.
A few weeks later, on January 1, 1962, the Beatles, with Pete Best on drums, recorded their own humorous take of ‘The Sheik of Araby’ at their Decca Records audition.
Marvel Man on the Mend
Wishing a very quick recovery for Joe Sinnott’s son Mark, who underwent successful coronary bypass surgery today.
Joe
Six years ago today, the world of comic books lost one of its finest talents, Joe Sinnott.
