The old day job called. They want me back first thing.

Tomorrow morning.

I can't afford to say "no", of course.

So, I've had to cancel my attendance of that SHIELD TV party tonight. I'll have to watch at home.

But if you can go and want to watch the season kickoff with friends of like mind? You should.

More on other stuff later.

Seems Neil DeGrasse Tyson's been asked to weigh in for DC's current editorial purposes which star and where in our sky we can find it.

I remember back in the late 1980's that John Byrne referred to an unidentified red dwarf located "50 light-years away", partly out of respect for the 50th anniversary of the Superman franchise's founding. I don't think the star in question was ever specifically nailed down by name or catalogue number, although a number of amateur and professional astronomers have come up with usable maps and lists and posted or otherwise published them so that the public - science-fiction, fantasy and super-hero writers among them - could have their own fun with the material.

Before Byrne, there was Elliot S! Maggin with his statement about Antares in either Miracle Monday or Last Son of Krypton. Not sure which novel it was.

And did Mark Waid say something in Birthright about the Andromeda Galaxy?

I just read this piece on Johnston's apparent about-face on her plan to retire For Better Or For Worse this morning.

Mrs. Johnston, I trust that you'll forgive me for being more than slightly shocked at this. Both the cancellation of the retirement of the daily strip and the plans to retire character aging as a rule of the series. It doesn't make sense to me at all.
