"
Notes:
(1) Summertime buddy-read with my comic book crew.
- The theme is Steve Englehart.
(2) I'll be tackling all 22 issues of "Tales of the Batman: Steve Englehart," but reading and reviewing everything in singles.
- This includes all the non-Englehart backups.
- This issue kicks everything off, which is notable in my case since it's roughly 75% "best of" reprint stories." — Jul 16, 2026 11:00AM

"Notes:
(1) Eric: "I can only tell you that I'm not having sex with my maker. But I would if he told me that was what he wanted. I would have no choice."
- Again, Sookie seems to regard this in a fairly dispassionate "Yeah, that's gotta suck" way.
- I guess it's different when your boyfriend's male maker commands sexual submission, compared to a female maker (Bill's) doing the same.
- How sexually normative of Sookie." — 6 hours, 56 min ago

Notes:
(1) If I'm certain about one thing regarding "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator," it's that the optimal (if not vital) time to read it is right after reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
- See, I chose to read "Matilda" instead, fully intending to come back, but never did... until now.
- Frankly, reading about some glass elevator no longer held any appeal." — Jul 03, 2026 08:00PM
