I'm stunned that Telephone Directory monthly didn't become more of a success. Probably a mistake going through the characters in order. I think "Summer Blues: The Aaron A Aaronson story" was a precursor to Bradbury's Something else else Wicked This Way Comes. Still, it was retitled to save on costs and Crossed Wires did give us zany love stories as Cupid became a telephone operator. Happy days of alternate universe reading.

I don't like it very much. I prefer mangoes or pineapples.

I probably eat more bananas than any other fruit.

I eat a lot of clementines and mandarin oranges. But I love peaches best. Strawberries are a close second.

Pears would be towards the top of my fruit choices. Peaches are nice though.

Now *they* were Presidents of the United States of America.

But there are some presidents who are undeniably terrible.

Is that why the band split?

That would make a lot of villain groups break up.

Should we get Yoko Ono to infiltrate villain groups in order to break them up?

Although given Yoko's age, maybe not nearly so effective.

I'm not a fan of Ono's music, but I've always figured they were grownups who were responsible for their own lives and the demise of their own band.
Always thought the "Yoko ruined it" thing was pretty sexist.

Sadly, I bet a lot of fans have an idealized vision of the group.

Surely half the band turning more into studio musicians rather than members of the group must have played a part.

Do you think the show "The X Factor" in the Marvel universe is about young mutants trying out for the X-Men?

Going back to the origin of the X-Factor group I think it's a show that glorifies the identification and subsequent incarceration of mutants. Young Timmy getting national recognition for finding Mutants in his barn. He's still on a high from that when the authorities arrest his parents for harbouring them. Caught on the wave of attention he denounces his folks on the following week's show.
