[quote]We all tend to think of the golden age as the twenty years or so just after the Second World War, when New York really was both the cultural capital of the world and a great middle-class town. Yet those years were maybe not so great if you were, say, female, black, Hispanic, gay, lesbian, or anything much but a straight white guy. Columbia still had quotas restricting the number of Jews admitted, and Mario Cuomo couldn’t get a job at a white-shoe law firm. So … how about 1977?

I graduated High School back in 1978. I was only 16, and incredibly horny, and got my first full-time job at 16, working in a greenhouse. I cruised relentlessly, but couldn't find any takers until I was 17. Please, no pedo alerts. I was very much the aggressor. Cruising around in my VW Rabbit, blasting Donna Summer and hoping someone would let me suck their dick.
R83 seems to be from 'Looking for Mister Goodbar' (according to Google search).

Upon coming on to the other hot young chickens at the New York party I was instructed “no sweet cakes, he’s the one we’re all supposed to be servicing (pointing at the old producer).” Everybody was very nice but when they announced we were going to Studio 54, I feared I’d be staying up all night and miss a Shakespeare paper deadline. When I told them so, I was escorted to Port Authority by a caravan of four limousines, on their way to 54, Liza, Halston, et al.
Knowing what I know now, I would have totally ditched the Shakespeare paper. My school was generous with extensions after all.

I'm the "D.C. Implosion".
20 titles abruptly cancelled for a variety of reasons with another 11 to follow before the year was out.
It wasn't D.C. Comics finest year to say the least..
Offsite Link| by Anonymous | reply 344 | June 10, 2018 1:08 AM |
In Aquaman #62 (with the series just 1 more issue away from cancellation) the story had his & Mera's only child die at the hands of his arch rival Black Manta.
I wasn't even a teenager when I read the story & couldn't believe that he wasn't coming back in some way.
After saddling him with that stupid "spend only 1 hour away from water or you'll die" limitation, this was clearly the second worst decision for the characters.
As one might imagine after the loss of a child. the Aqua-family was never the same again. The character for me was never quite enjoyable to read again.
Of all their ret-cons D.C. ever did, the "1 hour out of water" time limit & the kid's death should have been at the top of any list (with Aquagirl Tula's death close behind).

Nah, not usually, R469. I’m usually pretty succinct with what I need to say. You know, they say brevity is the soul of wit, so I, ya know, try to keep it brief. Sometimes I can keep it brief, but there are other times where I just find I need more words to say what I really want to say. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it, though, which I find odd. Do you find it odd that...oh, wait. You might have meant that sarcastically.
