Today Is Also . . .

. . . you guessed it! Willem de Kooning's birthday! He would have been 104. You probably remember his photo under Jane's bed. That Jane even knows who this guy is was one of the reasons I believe her IQ was in the same ballpark as Daria's, even if she wasn't any good at math. (See here for details.)

I reread the above and it kinda makes me sound like a dweeb geekfan, but I'll let it pass. FIAWOL.

PPMB

• Avalon, by legendeld (Part 16): That's funny. As I read this installment, I remembered those X-Men comics from 1980 just before Jean Grey turned into Dark Phoenix.
  
• Legion of Lawndale Heroes Mini – The Devil Deals the Cards, by Gouka Ryuu and Brother Grimace (Part 1): He was called Veggie because that was how he left his victims. At the moment he's looking for a redhead named Quinn.
• Lawndale’s Finest: Detective Stories 1, The End of an Era, by LSauchelli (COMPLETE!): All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Sometimes, though, it happens even when good men do everything.
  
• Man Behind the Curtain, by thatLONERchick (COMPLETE!): The fans weren't the only ones unhappy about That Episode. (FF.net version)
  
• The Misery Chicks, by NightGoblyn (COMPLETE!): This story doesn't go out with a bang, it goes out with a freakin' supernova. Whoa, mama. *
• My Sons, by legendeld (COMPLETE!): Time passes, and the new couple looks back. (“Only your sister would hand out weapons as 'I miss you' presents.”)
• Stacy Rowe, Seeker (Part II), by jtranser (continued): ". . . And you will become RanStace and your profound knowledge of Michael Bolton's music will be put to its highest possible use." [Gut instinct response from TAG: Be afraid. Be very afraid.]
  
• Turnabout Confusion Part II: All The King's Horses, by Dennis (continued): Lisa smirked and rubbed her chin. "I think I know just the candidate for Outcast Queen."
