After two or three years trying, I got accepted at Ret-Con, a Raleigh-Durham specfic con. I have a 1 PM signing on Saturday, plus panels the same day: Comics You Should Read (noon), Does Classic SFF Matter (5pm), Never Have I Ever — Movies (6pm), Mean Streets and Magic Spells (9pm). Sunday at 11 PM we have the Pirate Panel. I might make today’s opening even though I’m not scheduled for anything. Then again, I might stay home so I can help TYG give the dogs their drugs.
TYG’s hand is much improved from last week, which helped the work week go well. It was completely devoted to nonfiction, primarily Jekyll and Hyde. I watched multiple movies, rewrote some parts of the book, did some online reading — mostly regarding the trans aspect of Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde — and read a section to the writing group (thumbs up).
I got two stories in at The Local Reporter, one about Carrboro road projects and an interview (not online yet) with the head of Carrboro’s new library branch.
Over at Atomic Junk Shop, I had an article about DC’s late Silver Age spy team, the Secret Six. I do love the Frank Springer cover I got this image from.
I also wrote about how Batman’s New Look era of the 1960s came to an end, as dramatized on Neil Adams’ cover below.
And that’s pretty much it. Given this week’s snow, I’ll wrap up with an image from the previous snowfall, a sad truck that froze to death alone.
