Briefly Noted

Comic-Con International is 64 Days Away!  That's a little less than two months so I'd better start unpacking from last year.  The convention continues to announce Special Guests, many of whom they deem as important to the history of the sprawling beast that is Comic-Con International.  I was announced today along with many others.  More names will follow.

My friend, the talented cartoonist Carol Lay, informs me that the movie Bathtubs Over Broadway — which I raved about here — is now playing on Netflix. Well worth your time.

I linked earlier today to a video of the old song, "Ain't She Sweet?" Jack Lechner tells me something I didn't know; that songwriter Milton Ager wrote it about his newborn daughter Shana. As noted here, Shana grew up to become the noted journalist, Shana Alexander.

Lastly, it looks like I'll be on around ten panels (as moderator or panelist) over the three days of Heroes Con. Those three days are at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. They're June 14-16 and you can find out more about them over at the con website.
