I was considering a sarcastic remark about how quickly she worked this out, but given the universe she lives in, this is probably the right way to think. "This person I've never met before is claiming to be my husband. It's probably some kind of mind swap thing and I should definitely believe him." "What is that faint, almost unnoticeable smell? Almost certainly knock-out gas." "My arm is a bit itchy. Must be alien parasites again."

The Phantom Empire is one of the greatest movie serials ever made. It had great production values for the time and it made Gene Autry a star. But, as far as teaching a silver age writer how to "write comic books", it took 15 chapters to finish its story. Sure, that's how it happens now, but come on.

TomBat wrote a history of Batom Comics a few years ago. If you're masochistic enough to make it all the way to the end, you'll find out these Pete-and-Darin flashback figures actually have names, and they were the only two permanent hires for "the bullpen". Not that it makes any difference.

I have to agree with the Shaft on this one. It annoys me when the cashier tries to upsell me at every place I go to. Granted, they usually ask for just one thing, and I know it's not their fault and don't treat them like poo poo for it, and I wouldn't just leave like that, but I thinks it's a legitimate gripe.

I don't really understand why you would make a comic about a regular schmo who's imagining that he's a rocket hero or whatever. Why stop there? Make a comic, about a guy who's making a comic, about the pretending guy.

"$109.20?! Could there even be that much money?"

Not to mention that libraries (or at least the one I worked at) don't work that way. Once a book has been overdue for a month, it's automatically entered as "lost" in the system. You lose your borrowing privileges and are on the hook for the cost of the book, not the accrued fines. If you don't cough up the $12.95 for your hardcover romance novel by the end of our fiscal year, we go to "offset debt", and it comes out of your state tax refund (if you're getting one) or to a collection agency (if not). Bottom line: she either hasn't set foot in her library, paid state taxes, or opened her mail in 20+ years if she didn't know she had lost a book, so this old biddy can go jump in a lake

So, what's the most implausible part of this side trip so far?

A) Flying halfway across the country to see a movie serial and having a convertible waiting for you when you're done.
B) That the comic book geeks have somehow never seen the movie serial of a character that they're currently writing a movie about.
C) That Mason Jarr, lantern-jawed Hollywood star, just loves hanging around with script writers.

These women with their unrealistic demands! It's no wonder men are in charge if women were we'd have no police and men would be the ones with fewer jobs and less pay!

(Also, I'm going to guess that if we're talking employment at the university here in 1970, the ratio is probably far worse than 4 women to 5 men. especially if you take out support positions and things like cleaning and food service people. I'm sure I'm not blowing anyone's mind with my insight here but I wanted to say it for the record.)
