It totally flew by me, but August 11 was the 17th anniversary of The Comic Book Attic.  I will blame the sparse release of episodes on the podcast being a teenager.

Just a quick note to acknowledge that August 11 was the 15 year birthday of The Comic Book Attic!  I didn't have an opportunity to do a podcast to celebrate, but here's hoping my job eases up soon so that I can podcast a bit more regularly... and here's to 15+ more years in the Attic!

Today is the 13th birthday of the podcast.  While I don't have a new podcast to release for the occasion, I will soon have a week off and plan to record a new episode then. I also plan to finally edit the metric ton of already-recorded movie podcasts I have languishing on my computer.  

Meanwhile, my podcast is now officially a teenager... 

Yes, for the fourth time since 2012, I'm moving to a new home.  This time, I am escaping Baltimore after four years living there.

So, during this month of April, I'll be moving while also trying to work.  This means a brief hiatus for the podcast.  I'll also need much of May to get my new home in order.  Moving and arranging 47,000 comics and 12,000 movies is a feat of engineering. 

I will return soon.

Hi folks. After an unintentional month's break, the podcast will return later this week. Unexpected concentration on musical projects has kept me away. More on that later.

You may have noticed there's been no podcast in a couple weeks, and there may not be one for another week or so.  This has been for mainly two reasons:

1. I have changed jobs, and the time and energy consumed finishing at one job and starting the next (simultaneously!) has left me exhausted.

2. The "election."  I don't usually talk about politics on The Comic Book Attic, so I will leave that to the blog or one of my other podcasts; nevertheless, this recent presidential election was an utter disgusting disgrace.  The outcome has made me feel so sick and terrified for the future... and the thought of doing something fun like podcasting just isn't in me right now. 

Trump is a monster, and I could never support him.  All the talk of unity and moving on is silly because good people don't unite with villains.  Good people fight back against villains. 

I have refrained from mentioning this before because I didn't think he could possibly win, but DC Comics called it long ago when they based the post-Crisis Lex Luthor on a Trump-like business man

and eventually made him president.

But this comparison would be an insult to Lex Luthor, so I'll let that go...

Anyway, this madness has destroyed my faith in humanity quite a bit, so I haven't felt like engaging that same humanity with a podcast.  I'll return when my stomach stops churning.

Cheers...
