It wasn't entirely Levitz's invention, but he certainly refined it to a science.

That's fascinating. O'Neil certainly used that (or rather made sure that the method was used by his writers) when he ran the Batman titles (case in point w/Azrael)

I seem to recall it actually being mentioned in the lettercols in the Baxter era.

I'll have to have a look at the Baxter letter columns. Thanks, EDE.

(Good to see you here, by the way) I wish I could recall the context, but right now it's just a vague recollection that that's where I first encountered the idea. It's always good to be here.

I remember when Romy and Michelle danced to that song! Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion is a favorite movie of transgender icon Kate Bornstein. And Doom Patrol writer Rachel Pollack, who is also trans, named Kate Godwin (Coagula) after her.

I believe everything is connected. Synchronicity is not just an album by The Police.

I hate summer, or more appropriately I hate the heat and humidity!

You've never truly experienced summer unless its been in the US Mid-Atlantic. The heat and humidity is an oppressive hive of scum and villainy.

It was surely much better for his skin, but he definitely needed to make sure he headed towards Florida for... well, for reasons...

I remember a Cthulhu For President sticker. "Why vote for a lesser evil," it said.

If we're going with fictional characters for president, and we've already brought up C'thulu, why not just make Reep president? He has the pedigree AND the tentacles...
It's simple logic, people...
