IDEAS DON'T BLEED episode sixty-five | Phillip Kennedy Johnson, part one

-Matthew Rosenberg

December 11 2023

https://ashcanpress.substack.com/p/the-binary-language-of-moisture-vaporators

This week, we're joined by Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Action Comics / Alien) as we discuss his comics origins, his background in music, taking over The Incredible Hulk at Marvel Comics, and more!

IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!
Our theme song is "Where's the Poison" by Summer People.
Enjoy!

Hello again.

We're back with another installment of our little podcast about comic books, the Army, and Big Band music. I will admit, up until now we've done a bad job of discussing those last two things regularly, but we're fixing that today. The always wonderful Phillip Kennedy Johnson has joined us.

This is a fun one that goes lots of interesting places. Also this is the first episode I remember taping where I really finished it and kicked myself for not going deeper on a ton of the stuff we talked about, which I think is a testament to how much I enjoyed this chat and how much it got me thinking. Now you can give it a listen, see if you agree with me, and go pick up some of Phillip's great SUPERMAN and HULK comics

That darn Dana Summers

(Dana Summers)

Fact-checking is alimentary [Dana Summers letter]

Anne Cahill, Fairfax
Washington Post December 9 2023
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/12/08/old-testament-insensitive-bobby-ussery/

As someone who adores political cartoons, I was very disappointed in Dana Summers's Thanksgiving Day editorial cartoon. The cartoon is factually incorrect.

According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of a classic turkey dinner with all the fixings was down 4.5 percent from last year. This information was published Nov. 15 by the federation and was widely available. Summers did not do his due diligence.

Readers expect newspapers to present factually correct information. Factual integrity matters, and this cartoon didn't make the grade.
