...as a kid I used to love the occasional stories where aliens or beings from the future would stitch wings on Batman's back and he would soar like his namesake."++++ Was this, at all, part of the inspiration that allowed the Batman to fly in G3? **** Oh, you bet!

ach! It can't become Yulialand - we'd never see another JB comic! I mean, I don't want to deny the man his life's reward and all, but JB's got at least another 40 good years of comic making before he can settle down in the pool with a Russian Supermodel...
Jeez, guys!

know that in the latter case, the decision to have him fly came from
the Fleischer studios, who liked the look better than having him
leaping around like -- as Jim Steranko described it in his "History of
Comics" -- an "anthropomophic kangaroo", but as a kid I used to love
the occasional stories where aliens or beings from the future would
stitch wings on Batman's back and he would soar like his namesake. |

I remember as a kid getting into an aurgument about the very same
thing. I still remember saying that just because Batman had a
cape didn't mean he could fly. Maybe if I stay on this board long
enough, I might remember the rest of my childhood.

....when is moving day?
******
Closing is currently set for July 15th -- coincidentally, my father's birthday -- so the move will begin after that. Moving day would be a misnomer of the highest order, of course. I expect this exodus to take about two weeks if i'm lucky!

About twenty years ago, I visited Lee Falk at his place in Truro, in the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts [Truro is also the setting of the short story/movie "Portrait of Jenny"]. Falk called his hideaway "Xanadu," and on the way up the winding, woodsy road in, he posted signs, a la Burma Shave, "In Xanadu . . . " ". . . Did Kubla Khan . . . ". . .A Stately Pleasure Dome Decree."

VERY nice! That is the kind of home I would like to live in.
A question:
Don't you think you will miss your current home and street? I remember a truly beautiful message you once posted about how you all got a bunch of snow and you had had some hard times with your personal life and you realized that your neighborhood was "your tribe".
(I apologize if I got stuff mixed up.)

I remember a truly beautiful message you once posted about how you all got a bunch of snow and you had had some hard times with your personal life and you realized that your neighborhood was "your tribe".***** I will definitely miss my home here -- by any reasonable definition, this is the first real home I have had, and it has served me well for two decades. But the new place is an easy drive away, and I am sure my current "tribe" will mingle with what I can only hope will become my new "tribe". Life is all about moving on, after all. When it isn't, we call it "death".
