Last week due to Hurricane Debby, my dentist postponed putting in my permanent crown. That meant I had two dental appointments this week, my regular checkup Thursday and my crown implant Tuesday. I called and got them merged into one Thursday appointment. Efficient!
However a variety of personal stuff intruded on my work days and ate into my time. I also wound up spending more time working on Savage Adventures than I’d planned. I’d wanted to finish this editing go-round this week and I did. It took me way more time than I’d anticipated though, so I didn’t get much done on anything else.
I did get a Local Reporter article in on Carrboro City Council candidate Cristóbal Palmer, and two Atomic Junk shop stories. One on DC’s teen humor books—
— including redrawing DC’s adaptation of TV’s Dobie Gillis as Windy and Willy.
— and one on Marvel Comics in early 1969.
Stan, Stan, Stan, you don’t think the Invisible Girl even has the brain cells to pick a baby name without a man? Jeez.
As for my teeth, the good news is, they’re in good shape. The bad news is, the new crown was slightly off and so they’ve ordered another — I go back in a couple of weeks. I can see why, too — while it’s not bad enough to cause major discomfort or an inability to sleep (as happened with my first crown many, many years ago) it does feel “off” somehow.
