To Mike Weber and “Doctor R-Man,”
I was planning on responding to you both (from my ComicMix article earlier this week) in this column, but it occurred to me that a lot of new people who’ve never been here would be wondering why I’m following up with you in this column, so I’m going to respond to you in a column next Tuesday on ComicMix.
In the meantime, thanks for visiting my site and our tight-knit community here. Feel free to look around and read my past columns, as well as the columns of the other top-quality writers that contribute to the site. Some may think I lured you here under false pretenses (not that I wouldn’t), but I didn’t.
Enjoy your Super Bowl, I don’t even know who’s playing — I only watch for the commercials.

I don’t even watch for the commercials – i can see all the good ones online later.
I hope i didn’t come across as snarky in that comment; it just struck me that there you were talking abourt rights and the use or denial of use of same, and there was a bit of art at the top of your column that had been (presumably) pirated big-time by a big corporation.
That pinball – called “Blackout” which i remembered correctly as being a Williams machine from Williams, not Bally – didn’t swipe as much as i remembered (it was thirty-four years ago) – just the central figure (and removed the gun from Nick’s right hand).
I also remembered it as having art from the SHIELD story that introduced Scorpio on the playfield, but that was apparently a different machine.

BTW: Minor vanity-inspired point – “mike weber” is typed in all-lower-case since about 1972 when i used to do fanzines on an elderly IBM electric typewriter that had a cranky shift mechanism.
