New Year 2022!

I got his autograph for @Drunkwooky a few years back at Baltimore comic con on something I believe.

Yes you did! It’s errrr around here…

Yeah, that one hurts. I was a big fan of his. His work with Neal Adams and especially Gene Colan was nothing short of magnificent. I will be looking through my Tomb Of Dracula series tonight.

On average since 1952, 50 million people die per year. That means since Elizabeth was coronated 3.5 billion people have died. 1 billion more than the population at the time (2.5 billion).

However todays population is about to pass 8 billion. So that means 10.5 billion have been born. More than 4 times the population in 1952. Or nearly 3 times that died.

All while she was queen.

I haven’t looked at this thread since well around January 5th. Now I know why people are still keeping it going, it turned into a death thread :skull::skull_and_crossbones::skull::skull_and_crossbones::skull::skull_and_crossbones:. A couple more months until 2023, can’t wait to see what that thread turns into.

Yeah, I made this thread with the optimistic hope it would be about how 2022 was a great year full of joy. It turned into a lengthy, “In Memorium,” thread.

That’s a shame. Breathless was a great film. Sounds like he went out on his own terms. There’s something to be said for that. Still will be missed tho
