An interesting pair of clues on today’s J! First, about an old time radio serial …
… then about a very up-to-date streaming TV series.
As Ken said, tomorrow The Boys returns on Amazon Prime. Today, there is a new episode of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney. Thursday, The Pitt team of superheroes will work their everyday miracles on HBO Max.
“As I’ve mentioned, I was recently the victim of a robbery — and what really hurts is that I know who did it and it was someone I trusted a lot and not for a short time.”

A robbery implies the theft occurred while Mark was present. I’m thinking it’s probably more likely that he is the victim of a burglary, committed while he was away at WonderCon.
Denro and I were college kids when we met Carl Barks fifty years ago, at a Newcon in Boston. We’re now only about five years away from the age that Barks was then! Who was Carl Barks?
I had no idea DC was doing this, just had dinner with Zardsky a couple of weeks ago, will never look at him the same way again!!!

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.

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.
