In his defense, captains rarely show up to crime scenes in the real world.

Neither Amos nor Eakin seems aware that a "latrine" is a bathroom, or sometimes even just a toilet, depending upon individual use. A kitchen is a "canteen." If Eakin knows this and didn't correct Amos on it, she should be ashamed. If Amos does not know the proper meaning, she should be ashamed. La di da, big-time…

I imagine the word "tedious" isn't in your clearly extensive vocabulary, or that, at least, you don't recognize the quality in your own comments. Put simply, please shut the fuck up.

I think it's some Klaw weapon.

My ex told me once that she and then-in-laws went to Casa Bonita because they thought it would entertain the munchkins. The show was fun; the food was awful.

Don't understand why people love those all-dressed so much. I do not like a pickle spear, thank you!

FC's not too bad. Been here 17 years. It's fairly conservative, but compared to the Springs, it's Boulder. Wait a minute …

I have lived in both Iowa '80-'98 and Colorado '98-present. Both are pretty mellow, but Iowa is drifting hard right pretty damned fast.

"We got guns, they got guns
All God's chillun got guns."

I taped it when it ran on The Science Channel (maybe) in the early part of the century, then transferred those tapes to DVD. Cheap, yes, but I have them and can fast-forward through the breaks.

Living on Okinawa while my dad was Air Force. A friend had some old "Batman" comics and a small variety of other stuff he kept in a cardboard box. I'd enjoyed the "Batman" TV show when it originally aired, so I read the "serious" stories and got into them. I bought my first comic book from a vending machine in the San…

I'm re-reading "The Question." Some of the writing is a bit stiff, but it was the '80s. For DC in the '80s, when I first read the title, it's outstanding. Cowan and Magyar were sometimes shaky, but overall they were fantastic. They handled the martial arts well, too.

Exactly. But then came the comic, which explained they all lived, even Gunn. (Sort of lived … Gunn was vamped and Angel was made human again, somehow.)

Not to be pedantic, but he writes about neurology. Mental illness is a whole different game.

It was a different time, I'm pleased to say. Also, he never shied from nastiness, even by his "heroes."

Prepare to be disappointed with the later '70s material like Deadeye Dick. Slapstick is also weak. Jailbird is not bad at all. My favorites are his more "realistic" books, especially Bluebeard and Hocus Pocus, plus the early Mother Night.

Currently working on Tales From Development Hell in bits and pieces, as it's just chapters tracing individual projects' troubled histories. Giving more attention to Dr. Mutter's Marvels, about Thomas Dent Mutter, the 19th-century physician and teacher who founded the museum eventually named for him. Rather a tragic…

I guess the Squirrel is the real dickhead, eh?

Or Fred Travalena in "The Buddy Holly Story," playing "That'll Be the Day" for 24 hours while management tries to bust into the booth. (That was 1977, so I understand if I'm the only one who remembers it.)

There was a rumor of a tumor …
