Elongated Man Being Killed Off By DC Comics?

Well, a rumour began circulating today with Rich Johnston at www.comicbookresources that DC Comics is planning on killing off Elongated Man.

It seems intimated that the popularity of Plastic Man has been a spotlight on the redundancy of having two major stretch-based characters. I may be making more of things that Rich does but I stand by my comments none the less. Speaking as a fan who grew up with Elongated Man in the JLA since my earliest comic book reading days, I would have to admit that I find Plastic Man to be a far more interesting character than Ralph has been written the past 15 years. Plus, we all know that not a one of them really stays dead for too long (*Barry Allen being an exception to the rule!).

Should be intriguing how this one plays itself out.

Up, up, right, gently…the claw is too small!

Kid crawls inside a claw machine. This little boy crawled in through the drop slot in order to get a toy, and no one knows how he fit. He isn’t exactly the size of Buzz Lightyear.

Guess I’ll put off that book on the cold war

Surely some of you have wondered where I’ve been for the last few days. I’ve been around, and I’m working on the Monitor Duty site’s new design and our new contest, but both of them have some serious bugs that need to be worked out first. NOTE: If I can’t get the contest form to work in the next day, I’ll just have everyone e-mail me their entry directly.

But the other thing I’m working on are some follow-up projects now that “Job Wanted” has been published. I’m developing some Fuzzball Comics projects and pursuing other writing projects. One of them is a comic book which is set during the Cold War.

However, I’m sorry to say that I received only 27.5% on my Holocausts of Communism Test. This marks me as “an Intermediate student of Communist atrocities”.

Now, I don’t feel too bad about this. This test seems more educational than anything else; you’d have to be a serious student of the subject to get them all right. The reason is that this is a test where there are usually 2 or 3 answers that sound about right, even if you know the subject well.

What I’m saying is, I still did a lot better on this test than someone in a Jay Leno Jaywalking segment who couldn’t tell you where the Ukrainian Famine took place or in which century the Cold War happened. Still, my low score is aggravating enough that I’m going to fling myself back into the pages of the Black Book of Communism for some re-reading before I tackle that comic book project.

Luann – New book, TV series

I didn’t realize that there was a new Luann book. I was getting worried, since it’s been so long since her last book. (Why do I say “her” previous book, like she’s a real person? Oy.)

Here’s a news tidbit. Apparently, there is a Luann TV show in development by Dick Clark productions.
