Briefly Noted…

Just got a note asking about Steve Sherman, the gent I just mentioned who was my partner when I went to work for Jack Kirby in 1970. "Where is he these days?" writes Kevin Wood. Well, I don't know where Steve is today but last Friday, he was at the Magic Castle in Hollywood having lunch with me. Steve is a master puppeteer, very much in demand. In fact, years after we stopped being a team, we worked together on several TV projects where I was hired as the writer and he, just by coincidence, was hired as a puppet guy. He's doing well after a brief, recent health scare and we had a great time Friday talking about Jack and other mutual acquaintances. Great guy, great friend.
