Agent Unknown is on the comeback trail!

A very funny thing happened to me just now (seriously, just now). I was Googling myself (hey, don’t you ever Google yourself? you should sometime, just for laughs.) Anyway, I did, and in addition to my name, cited Agent Unknown, the comicbook series I did in the late ‘80s. Well, lo and behold, I came up on the following reference for a blog entitled Guns in the Gutter where the reviewer talked about my comic.

Seriously, how cool is that?

Well, truth of the matter is that he really didn’t like the comic all that much, but Hell, it is the only review of the comic that I have ever seen in 20 years. For me, the really cool part of this is that, well, as readers of this forum alrady know, I’m gearing up to revive Agent Unknown. So the fact that someone is writing about it 20 years later is kind of cool.

I‘m hoping that he will like the new installments much better.

Captain America is still dead, and this proves it!

I was going to write something witty and urbane about the following link (this site won’t let me embed it as does YouTube, so all I have is a link), but I’m pretty upset about it all. The story is about how a Dr. in Florida, who was at a costume party (dressed as Captain America) apparently sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom.

Here’s the link.



Makes me want to go back and read The Other.

You know it baby!

Transformers at BK

OK, OK, truth of the matter is that Transformers were at BK, (Simpsons are there now, more in a later post), but I did manage to snag a couple of the Transformer toys, and as the movie was totally cool, and Marvel used to publish Transformers (plus there is a new New Avengers/ Transformers comic out now), I thought I'd make mention of them.

Plus Tom has been bugging me for this post.



Happy Now Tommy-Boy?



Sorry this one is a bit blurry, I think the picture is actually fine, but I was a touch “blurry” myself when I snapped it (if you know what I mean, eh?)

The Dilbert Factor

I’m a huge fan of Scott Adams’s syndicated character, Dilbert. While I don’t always get to follow his wekly adventures (or watch the cartoon), I do what I can. In that regard, I’ve been getting a Dilbert day calandar for the past few years.

This calandar has a strip a day (from a couple of years back), and sits on my desk.

Yesterday’s was particularly funny, and I wanted to share it with all of you.



I literally laughed out loud at the punchline to this gag. I’m thinking that so too did you.

The Return of Video Victor

Back in the Mid ‘80s, I was the managing editor of a magazine called Videogaming Illustrated. I wrote some game reviews, articles, news items, and (for a couple of installments) I actually got to write an actual comicstrip. Sure, sure, the strip was only a one-page gag strip entitled Video Victor which combined bee jokes, videogaming, and pop culture references. (Commodore Computer used to produce a small computer named the Vic-20, hence the name “Video Victor” like a joke, only smaller).

Anyways, while I was writing it, the strip was drawn by John Constanza. It was my first published fiction work. It was fun, and I finally found a place to post the only two strips I ever got to write. Check ’em out, it might be kinda fun.

The reason I only wrote two installments is that the mag (VI) was canceled at that point. It would take me almost another three years to get my second work of fiction (Agent Unknown) into print, and then six more years for my third (a brief article in Marvel Year in Review 1993 that told the “Previous Untold” real origin of the Avengers. Now that I think of it, perhaps I should post that little bit of nonsense I penned with my writing partner John A. Wilcox as well.

Sign of the times

Hey, I just got the coolest gift. My lovely wife went on vacation for a week to Arizona with my beautiful daughter, and when she returned, she brought me this one-of-a-kind sign that was made while they watched from some boutique that they stopped in while sightseeing.

I happen to think that it is way cool. Hopefully you will as well.
