Hey, Cal, that picture of the dude hiding behind the brick wall was the cover painting to the 1975 reissue of Laurence Manning's prescient 1933 serialized novel The Man Who Awoke, which I bought as a kid and read before realizing it was forty years old (that's how well the awesome cover painting worked).
I must have reached into your subconscious when I saw it and saved it for a post like this. I agree. I would have got me to buy the magazine. Nothing cooler than pulp magazine covers. I have a whole beautiful card set of the best of them that Dr Goat bequeathed me.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Great post, loves me some Power Girl. The steampunks are cool too.
Went to the Moon, Went to the Bathroom. Either way they both took photos of a dark, cratered, lifeless surface.
Two wizards! Whaaaaaaaa?
