Adult Children by Stephen Beals for January 29, 2023

good thing not Robin Williams (RIP)

William Shakespeare wrote Thor #1 in 1463. It was first released at Ye Olde Comic Con, London.

Well she’s well at least she’s well read……

Haven’t seen $14.63 in awhile.

Thor comics as classical English guides…..interesting. Preschoolers use The Hulk….replacing the classic I remember…Dick and Jane.xD

Comics always have the best quotable lines.

He who eats when he is already full digs his grave with his teeth.

Stan Lee was really good at (almost) always getting his archaic (Shakespearean / King James Bible) syntax correct while also keeping the clauses using that syntax short and simple, as befits speeches that had to fit in word balloons. Other writers tended either to bungle the syntax or to resort to archaic sentence constructions too elaborate for economical comic book dialogue.

Nice to see that they’re holding the line on prices.

Verily, I say unto thee, that’s a LOT more than three fiddy.

Quotable totals…
