Animal Crackers

By | Jul 27, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

In 2017, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus had their final performance. I have no nostalgia for the circus, only going once when I was an adult, but even then you could tell that things were beginning to end for that particular brand of entertainment.

“The Question” (1987) #21-24

By | Jul 21, 2020 | Reviews

When I set-out to re-read “The Question,” I’d forgotten just how many issues have Junior in it. It’s not often, last time was issue #6, but O’Neil really seemed to love this antagonist as a foil to Vic. He also gets sadder and sadder with each appearance. Maybe this will be his final appearance. With an election arc next, I wouldn’t be surprised.
