…and this is the height of geekdom, forgive me…

…but fifty years ago today, on March 31st, 1959, the world was first introduced to Supergirl, Bat-Mite, and the Space Museum.  So, Happy Birthday to three of my favorite things in comics.

That is all.

    Today has a special significance for me because–here’s something you probably don’t know about me–I’m a huge fan of Elvis Aron Presley. Of his music and, at his best, of the man.
