shelf-consciousness

Thanks for this, Patty! So many things lately have been making us say, is this for real? Living in the future is so much fun (except for the killer nano bacteria wars... oh, wait, they haven't happened yet).

We CAN do this. We OUGHT TO do this. And per the comments I saw on YouTube, people are seriously discussing how to mine asteroids to build it. Yes! We WILL do this! Okay, it's fun to think about, anyway.

Just from the artistic standpoint: I learned the hard difference between original work and franchise that month when I picked up Spider-Man and it wasn’t by Ditko! I was young and naive, and I might have recovered from that, but not the loss of Ditko on Dr Strange, too! And then Kirby left Marvel and my childhood ended.
