MDG's speculation this morning aside, are we sure we really want to know the answer to this question?

Paging dr chimp. dr chimp, please report to the thread & analyze Ramage's fantasies re: a naked Joker.

The feral cats I feed in my yard -- around a dozen -- qualify as "unofficial" pets, I'd say. I've given names to about half of them; only one, a tawny male I call Nobie, is sociable. I'd move him...

So sorry to hear it, MRP. I'll hug one of mine for Sita (I'd hug the other, too, but Sophie rarely puts up with being held).

Which feature, BTW, can prove hazardous not only to one's work productivity but also to one's grasp on reality. For instance, I lived for decades under the impression that the first two issues (#s 5...

Yep, & I've got 'em all. For quite awhile, that was the longest complete run I owned.

Actually, it does. Just go to the "Newsstand" page; you've got a choice of searching for month by "Cover Dated" or "On Sale In."

Too bad Gold Key didn't pursue this --

To quote words that old-time radio comedian Fred Allen put in the mouth of his radio-shunning character Titus Moody, "I don't hold with furniture that talks."

For me, the novel count has been so high recently because, as also alluded to a few days ago, I can't work up any interest in movies, either. As a result, when I'm at home I'm either reading or...

Oh, I read plenty -- 14 novels (11 by the previously mentioned Tess Gerritsen, 3 by Lisa Gardner [& halfway through a 4th], all averaging about 350 pages per) in the last 2 1/2 weeks, for instance,...

*yawn* Just another day that ends in -y, I see.

I bought Creepy #54 & FM #99 & also Haunt of Horror #2. Not sure how the first issue of Marvel's short-lived foray into the fiction digest format eluded me, but I grabbed that one as soon as it...

What about monkeys? If no simians have shown up in the first 100 pages, I'm afraid the book must be chalked up as a lost cause.

Come to think of it, while I haven't taken Spanish in some 3 1/2...

"Mountains" also was the cover story for the Feb 1936 Astounding Stories -- a distinction never accorded to him by Weird Tales while he was alive, shockingly enough. (The fact that, say, "Call of...

Does it have zombies?

If not, consider yourself demotivated.

That 10 minutes probably represents my longest, deepest exposure to "At the Mountains of Madness," actually. I'm pretty sure it's the only thing of Lovecraft's I haven't read. I gave it a shot as a...

The doctor has spoken.

And speaking of the HPL Historical Society, they've come out with this.

Have you seen The Resurrected (1992, directed by Dan O'Bannon)? If memory serves, it hews a little more closely to Charles Dexter Ward than Haunted Palace does, though I quite agree that the latter...

I may be off comics these days, but my subconscious mind apparently isn't getting the message -- the darned things have shown up in my dreams 3 of, I believe, the last 4 nights (twice in the form of...

And damn if I didn't wind up devouring all 10 of these in less than two weeks, followed by a non-series novel of Gerritsen's. Considering that they average probably 350 pages in length, I strongly...

It is indeed. The two sequels are quite good as well. (I didn't realize till just now, upon checking Effinger's Wikipedia entry to make sure I correctly remembered the number of follow-ups, that...

Cthulhu is OK, but Stuart Gordon's Dagon (despite its title) is quite an effective semi-adaptation of "Innsmouth."

But, yes, the HPLHS guys would be the dream team for adapting the story ... or,...

*sigh* Sad news, obviously.

When I think of Adkins, I guess the first things of his that comes to mind is some really nicely done strips in early issues of Creepy & Eerie. I didn't encounter his...
