You may have noticed that I removed from this item the address of the hospital where our pal Denny O'Neil is convalescing and awaiting surgery. The address was released by someone close to the situation but they've had second thoughts and would prefer that any actual mail be sent to the offices of DC Comics. In case you don't have a copy of Batman handy, the address would be:
Denny O'Neil
c/o DC Comics, Inc.
1700 Broadway
New York, NY 10019

By the way: This has nothing to do with Denny but I wonder how many people know that the above address (which also houses Mad Magazine) is directly across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater, wherein David Letterman tapes. And I mean right across the street. You know that bit that Dave does on occasion where they try and see how many guys in bear suits they can fit into a coffee shop? Well, the coffee shop they usually use is Ficarra's — no relation to Mad editor John Ficarra — and it's in the ground floor of the office building with DC Comics and Mad. Just another bit of functionally-useless trivia to take your mind off a possible war with Iraq.
