Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier

Just some of the dozens of books I've written, co-written, annotated, or compiled, as an introduction.

The Cosby Show stole all its best ideas from Nancy!

"At Amazon, we don't even know the meaning of 'delay'!"

Just a quick note that if you ever saw Chicago in any of its forms, this is the period and the sort of coverage that inspired it... although not this specific case (it was based, rather, on two 1924 cases.)

Bluesky has four kinds of users

Farewell to actor and comics creator Walter Koenig, part of the crew who meant a lot to many of us.

Judge Sanchez questioning DOJ figuring out who is noncitizens from envelopes: "My name is Gabriel Sanchez. I guarantee you there are many Gabriel Sanchezes in Los Angeles County."

At some point, I started asking sketch artists (just a couple) for drawings of pandas playing role playing games, as a gift for my son, who was into both pandas and RPGs. Then I realized that the game they would play was Pandas And Adventures, commonly refered to as PandA. Now I want a copy.

My first five ttrpgs in (roughly) the order that I played them: 1. Advanced D&D (there's a chance I played the basic as well, cannot recall.) 2. Traveller 3. Boot Hill 4. Bunnies & Burrows 5. Top Secret

Hivemind: In the wake of Crisis, when Miller gave Batman a restart with Year One, Steve Gerber was slated to restart Wonder Woman (ended up being replace with the Potter/Perez series). Steve and Frank got together and planned to take on Superman, (went to Byrne.) Do any pitch materials exist?

Cats are no longer planning total world domination, they tell me.

Did the rapture just happen? I mean, all you folks are still here, but, y’know, Bluesky…

Favorite film in haiku: Our experiment derails our investment in frozen orange juice

I now need a trilogy about this wizard.

I give out comic books in addition to food treats. I always get adults seeing something on the table and asking if they can have one. I tell ‘em “you’re an adult. You know the rules to this. “Ya gotta say ‘tricker treat’!”

This isn’t just an education-oriented candidate who happens to have bad ideas about trans students. Being bad to trans students is the central point of her candidacy. Vote, California, and not for her.

Just saw a much-shared post complaining that you needed an Apple subscription to watch It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown these days. The good news is that that's false -- each year, Apple provides a window for free watching (still need the free app). The bad news? The window was last weekend.

Thanks folks for the support. Despite being a relative success in most of the realms that matter and making it through well more than half of my alloted time in this realm, the world can still find ways of making one feel incompetent at life.

"There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun (eek!), It holds the ruins of many a poor boy, and g-d, I know, I'm one."

Heavily stressed, due to combination of navigating America's strange health system for a family member and working on a project that, while it will be great when completed, involves many moving parts with far larger entities. Ever considered saying something nice about me or my work? Today, please.

“Stop staring at my Kirboobs!”

Vote. It's the only poll that matters.

You think gas prices are unbelievable where you are?!?

I’m not saying you won’t be able to purchase Hogan’s Alley #25 after it ships next month (though it might be sold out), but you definitely won’t be able to purchase it at this price: www.hoganmag.com/stores/preor...

"The new Narnia film is just too woke. The lion is being played by a woman! And the wardrobe is being played by a peacedrobe!"

Men, be sure to remind women that they can talk on the phone!

The Tesla jumping car addresses two major markets: 1. People whose daily commute takes them across the Snake River Canyon. 2. Bo and Luke Duke.

She keeps getting fired. They hire her back though; it's hard to find someone else of that caliber. --Dad

I am not even halfway through the book, and I think Joel's been refered to as "Peter" four times now... including once by the character Peter. I've also just run into the term "blade of glass" when they clearly meant "grass".

Led Zeppelin, just as C. S. Lewis intended.

If you search the discount shelves around Christmastime, you will find knockoff games - Oops! instead of Sorry!, Problem instead of Trouble, etc. But Mystery Game was a discount Clue knockoff published by… the US publishers of Clue!

Almost shrugged off what turned out to be a genuine interview request because of this very thing. As a writer and publisher, I'm getting AI-generated spam wanting to give me a loan, buy out my company, for a cost get me in front of book clubs, on podcasts, etc., constantly.

I just bought my lawyer medallion off of one who was going out of business.
