It rained all day yesterday, except on the east side of the Flathead Valley -- where it snowed. The Canadian Geese have Goslings swimming on Firehouse Pond! (See photo below from last Sunday.)

In The Community: The Hockaday Museum of Art's two-week preview of the 4th Annual Spring for Glacier Auction on May 25, 2007 in Glacier National Park is taking over the lower gallery, starting this weekend -- once we finish getting Jeff Walker's 70+ etchings and paintings on the walls upstairs!

Media Watch: I got a tip about a website that engages in some online observations about how ridiculous Comic Books could and can be. It is almost TOO obvious an idea, but it takes REAL fans of the medium to care enough to do it. Their main theme is "Superman is a dick," and they prove it by many examples. (Maybe it was the fault of his editors.) Other features of this site include Sexual Innuendo, Stupor Powers, Propaganda, Stupid Comics, Weird Science (NOT the EC type!), Suffering Sappho, and Frames & Pages. Their comments are pretty funny most of the time -- variations of "...if this isn't intentional..." abound.


Clark Kent/Superman tells off childhood sweetheart Lana Lang and long-suffering Lois on this mean-spirited cover from Lois Lane #63 (1966). Art: Kurt Schaffenberger and Wayne Boring; Script: Leo Dorfman; Editor: Mort Weisinger.

I remember reading a story in a fan magazine (Trumpet perhaps) around 1969 with this interesting angle: If I'm Superman when I'm wearing tights, and I'm Clark Kent when wearing a suit, then who am I when I'm naked, sitting on the bed writing these words?
