* Kody Chamberlain writes at length about breaking into comics. My usual answer is just make comics as close to the comics you want to make, over and over, until someone interacts with you in a way that changes this through-line to a career you've already begun, but while I think that's basically still true no one wants to hear that and ways to finesse the various intermediary steps are always welcome.
* every so often something fun will come back to the surface the way Frank Santoro has his Comics Workbook site set up, like this 2011 Providence scene report.
* not comics: one of the weird things to me about the life of the recently-passed actress Noel Neil, Lois Lane portrayer and convention-circuit regular, is that 20 years slipped by between the live-action Superman TV show and that first Christopher Reeve movie. That seems to me looking back more like 1000 years in cultural time, that particular spread of dates.
