I’m willing to live with that. This was a good productive week. And working until 5 PM rather than 4PM still gets good results. That may change eventually — most time hacks require a reboot or a reset — but until then it’s a go.
Other than an interview with Carrboro’s town manager, this was an all Jekyll and Hyde week. Watching movies, watching a 2015 TV series, watching the third season of Penny Dreadful for its use of Dr. Jekyll. The Local Reporter took a summer break — most of the editorial staff were on vacation — so I wasn’t writing anything for them.
At the Atomic Junk Shop I posted about Jack Kirby departing Marvel — a seismic event in comics fandom and the industry when it happened — and a story on writer Paul Levitz’ attempt to untangle the Spectre’s continuity, though that was really just an excuse to post this glorious cover by Marshall Rogers.
I also blogged about something my fellow Boomers (and maybe older Gen X) remember, the Columbia Record Club.
And the Con-Tinual panel on using Olympian gods in fiction is live on Facebook. I’ve written several stories that incorporate Greek myths, including a couple in 19-Infinity (links on my Behold the Book page).
