Super Technology of Superman III
Onscreen in this rather badly-done film is a lot of cutting edge tech from 1983: it's now an unfamiliar assortment of images of giant boxes and reel-to-reel tape that has only a distant relationship with today's shiny PDAs and desktop/flatscreen tormenters, that is if you're younger than say 40 or so. Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor are the center-pieces of the film, but here I have screen-grabbed a handful of the shots of the computer technology which was meant to impress the audiences of that era. Consider: all that mammoth equipment is now eclipsed by the power of a single little laptop.

E E W Comics & 24 Hour Comic Book Day
I tried to do the 24-hour-comic-book-day challenge: write, draw, ink and complete 24 page comic book in a single 24 hour period. Real life interfered and I failed to get past 8 pages, but I will be finishing up my attempt to its completion and publishing the result at eewcomics.com

Catwoman
This character from Bob Kane and Bill Finger has been around since Spring 1940. The suit keeps changing. Currently in DC Comics it is a sweaty looking black leather thing with a big round key-ring to undo a zipper from the neck on down. Probably a direct allusion to the outfits from the old 1960s TV show and the Tim Burton movies. Or a subliminal message to visit a locksmith, maybe.
When it comes to Cat-woman's suits, I prefer purple.
