Naturally, no post for this week. Turns out that I was wrong about our return day, which was actually yesterday. We stayed in Florida on Sunday and took advantage of the opportunity to check out Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Holy shit, they really went all out for Islands. I could have spent all day there, just snapping pictures of the buildings. (No, not a lot of riding for me. The older I get, the less resistance I have for high-speed coasters. Though the Revenge of the Mummy ride was pretty cool… and I was trapped on the ride once it got started, so I really had no choice but to go through it.)

But getting back to business. There are only so many posts I can make about books and writing, and I know those aren’t nearly as interesting as, say, other things. So I’m going to write about other people’s writing. No, trust, me, this’ll be great! And I won’t be talking about just books, either.

Okay, people 20+ years or older: do you remember the Disney Afternoon? Do you remember all the crazy, cool toons? Do you remember envying Darkwing Duck’s fashion sense donning a purple towel and fedora? I sure do. I also remember the Disney Adventures magazine and all the great comics therein. I’ve spent weeks doing research on said publication and came across these:

And they’re mine, all mine! (Except for the last two issues.) Not only do I plan on embarrassing myself in trying to recapture my childhood, I plan on recapping these comics. Why the hell not? Someone had to write them, and I am trying to keep this as a writing blog.

Next week, I’ll recap Ish #1. And if you like Darkwing, you’re in luck, because these comics are about practically no one else. Goddamn, that’s too much purple. What fun!

Perhaps my biggest dilemma is choosing which book to take with me. I doubt I’ll have time to read, but I like to be prepared. Now, do I want a book where I’m currently trapped in a long, uninteresting campaign against the Romans to secure land or some other crap I’ve forgotten about (because it’s been months since I last picked up the book), or do I want a book where all the characters are mean, snarky, generally unlikable, and possibly rip-offs from other and better characters?

Or do I just go with the safest option?
