There’s Money in Comics!
In 1947 Stan Lee wrote an article for The Writer's Digest making the case for comics. "It’s a big field, it’s a well-paying field, and it’s an interesting field. If you haven’t tried to crack the comics yet, now’s the time to start."Take a Look

Oh my lordy, the Unexplained Podcast is so beautifully written and narrated that it can hurt at times. Taking on life's mysteries is a popular sport in podcasting but Unexplained does it in a gentle, informative, and compelling way my ears have not encountered elsewhere. Each episode plays like reading a novel you never want to end. Listen to it, enjoy it, and then come to find me so we can talk about it. So good.
Corey is missing a shirt and Craig needs a job
but together, they have it all! 
Some big stuff happened this week in history. If you have an inclination to travel back in time, take these 5 tips with you:

TIP: Moviegoers are in for a treat in New York City on November 26th in 1942. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman just made a little ditty of a film called Casablanca. You won't have any trouble finding a seat at the premiere. It's not very popular... yet.  

TIP: Heading out to 1789 on November 26th? Pack your eating pants. President George Washington has just declared the first national U.S. holiday, and it's Thanksgiving

TIP: Charles Monroe Schulz aka Sparky has entered the world on November 26th. If you are in Minneapolis in 1922, you should stop by with a gift for his parents because oh-my-gosh, he's awesome!

TIP: 1964 fans should be pretty excited on November 28th. The Mariner 4 has just been launched into space and it's about to capture the first images of another planet EVER. MARS!

TIP: Avoid Hamburg, Germany on November 29th in 1960. TheBeatles just got arrested for arson! Those wacky fellas.
I As ever, I am so grateful for your attention and the permission to visit you weekly. Your readership is an honor and a privilege. Please feel free to forward this puppy as you see fit.
