June 25 will mark five years since the passing of Joe Sinnott. I was fourteen when I first read an interview with Joe. It was conducted by Mark Evanier and Tony Isabella (now preferring to be called Jenny Blake), and published in Marvelmania No. 4.
Here’s the original published format, suitable for widescreen viewing.
An brief bio is in the same issue, with Joe sharing space with bad boy Sci-Fi writer Harlan Ellison.
Thanks to WBCN-FM in Boston playing Monty Python records, I was already familiar with the (eventually legendary) comedy troupe when first reading about them, shortly after starting my freshman year of college.
Now you see it…
… now you don’t!
My first post-ablation checkup looks excellent. I’ll wear a heart monitor in July and if, as expected, the results are unchanged from today, I can stop taking Eliquis, the most expensive of blood thinners.
It’s here! Something you never expected to see, but is interesting to know about. The Peanuts limited edition, 75th anniversary turntable with Ortofon cartridge, built-in phono pre-amp and Bluetooth support.

I first heard Monty Python’s very funny ‘Ethel the Frog’ in high school, on WBCN-FM, the station that broke the Pythons in America. The mockumentary told the story of the criminal Piranha Brothers.
What I didn’t know at the time was, the Piranha Brothers were based on the all-too-real Kray brothers of London. In Boston there was Whitey Bulger, and Cape Cod had Melvin Reine. They were violent and, in a word, crazy. Compared to the Krays, the notorious Whitey was a misunderstood businessman.
Tom Hardy, perhaps the finest actor of this or almost any generation, portrayed both of the insanely dangerous Kray twins in 2015’s Legend.
After watching that, listen to this story, as told to me by Prue.
