How to Embrace Progress

March 25, 2022 by Scott Meyer

It is an interesting paradox. You create a product that’s sole reason for existing is to take up space in packages, then you must ship it all over the world from your factory. Logically, there must be trucks, boxcars, and shipping containers traveling all over the world, transporting nothing but brand-new packing peanuts and rolls of bubble wrap.

That must be a fairly low-stress run for a trucker. No need to worry about the shipment getting damaged, and the fuel costs have to be lower than usual. It also would be a real kick in the pants for any hijacker who steals the shipment looking for stuff they can sell.

How to Explain What the Deal Is with "The Avengers"

February 11, 2022 by Scott Meyer

To be fair, two years before Super Friends launched, DC did address somewhat grittier subject matter.

My favorite thing about that cover is that Green Lantern is being such a jerk about it. I’m amazed he didn’t use his ring to make a giant green hand pointing at Speedy with the words “Dope Fiend.”

Also, you’d think Speedy would have been on amphetamines. Just saying.
