Various Interesting Links

1. So I posted this article to scans daily (DW's comic book fan site) to see how fellow comic book fans viewed it.

Comic Books Incorporated -- Interview with author and media studies professor Shawna Kidman

The two excerpts that struck me as interesting about the article and I posted are:

( Kidman's background is not as a fan of comics or in the fandom, but as a fan of the business of comics )

And...
( Kidman views comics fans as privileged and catered to )

I'm curious to see how the actual comic fandom views this. I know how I did, not well.

Weirdly, the scans daily crowd sort of agrees with her. LOL! They may be more academically inclined than I am.

3. I thought about posting this on FB, but as I've slowly discovered (because I'm rather dense) that FB is an impossible place to have a decent discussion on anything. (Except for daytime soap opera spoilers...it works rather well for that.)

Anyhow... this article was rather interesting, it's not about what you think.

4. Why the Flu Shot Cannot Give You the Flu

5. Impeachment Battle to Turn for the First Time to President's ties to a foreign country

[Sorry the frustrated Political Science Major and Constitutional Lawyer in Me, can't look away...I'm following it with my fingers over my eyes, and an absurd curiosity that has a wee bit too much in common with my curiosity about horror movies]

Honestly, there's a reason "Hamilton" came out and was so successful just prior to the 2016 election.
