Does everyone know that the lyrics of the Defenders of the Earth opening theme were written by Stan Lee? The one thing he actually came up with entirely on his own and he didn’t even want to take credit for it:

It's not the first time he's done this, so I don't think he's actually ever read it.

Modesty Blaise: With Love From Rufus

I haven't thanked you yet for posting Modesty Blaise again! Always one of my favorite strips. I actually have the collection this story appears in and here is O'Donnell's introduction to it (mostly spoiler'd for potential plot details).

Peter O'Donnell posted:

I can't recall any particular trigger for this story, but reading it now, it feels as if I set out to have a light-hearted opening with Modesty being thoroughly disconcerted. It's hard to think of any situation that would throw her off-balance, but I hope the one I dreamed up for her back in 1972 fits the bill. It's certainly a new experience for her.

As always, the story couldn't stay light-hearted for long, and as always I needed to find an arena where the final mayhem could take place without the police or public getting in the way. Here I was lucky, for the site that occurred to me was ideal. It lay a couple of miles out to sea and was familiar to me because it was visible from the house my parents had on the Kent coast. I'd seen it many times and, in fact, there wasn't just one of them, but several. Landing on any of them was an offence and you could be fined for it, but I don't think that would scare Modesty, Willie, or the villains off.

I hired a boat and crew and spent half a day at sea taking long shots and close-ups for Romero. So what you see when you come to that part of the story is the real thing. Incidentally, the weather was great and the sea was calm, so it wasn't a bad way of getting through a hard morning's work.

Liniers is absolutely one of those people who fetishise books but never actually read anything. They'll have extremely strong (negative) feelings about ebooks and book art and proudly tell you that they reread Little Women or Lord of the Rings at least once a year. I have known a number of these people and they are exactly Macanudo's target audience.

Bats again.

Bats are an important part of the ecosystem and are having a rough time due to habitat loss and human fear and are actually pretty cool little dudes, but it's cool Jules. Keep telling us about how they all have rabies and are just out hunting for unsuspecting humans to infect.

(Yeah, they can carry rabies, so bat safety is important, especially if they're rolling around on the ground in the daytime like this one was, but this is the second character to TOTALLY GET RABIES FROM A BAT in the last couple of days (strip time) and it's a bit weird and alarmist.)
