	10:12pm chresti: It was great to hear-count 5!
	10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Is Scott a fan of Jack Kirby?
	10:20pm Kris Holmes: I have no idea what that means?
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: chresti regarding what you said before yeah i've apparently met several famous people! i supposed some of them are thankful and some are insulted. whatever.
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: diggin this misery
	10:24pm doctorjazz: Hey folks!
	10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: I figured you wouldn’t. Scott Free is the alias of a character named Mister Miracle that Jack Kirby created for DC in the early 70s. He’s the world’s greatest escape artist as well as a deity from the planet New Genesis but was raised on the evil planet Apokolips.
	10:26pm Kris Holmes: Ah, comics, completely lost on me.
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: Kris, It's funny you're talking about school...I was asleep when Chresti turned up The Count Five. I dreamed of one of those signs that show a big thermometer to indicate how well the fund raiser is doing. It said Psychotic Reaction in big goofy letters and it was staked on the lawn in front of a high school!
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha, best fundraiser theme ever
	10:29pm Dean: New Yorker recently published a cartoon featuring one of those thermometers. The ask was something like, "Contribute to our big thermometer."
	🥁 10:34pm JtotheK: Good Evening Mr Holmes, hello everyone.
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: wow did not know that. weren't they still the high numbers when they did zoot suit?
	10:37pm Kris Holmes: yes High Numbers
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, when I was fifteen I went to my first and last comic book convention, at the Disney Land Hotel no less. There was a crowd standing around this grey haired guy taking emphatically to a group of young fans. I asked my friend Michael, who was tripping on PCP, who he was. He squinted thru his hallucination and said "That's Jack Kirby!" then returned to the personal hell he was going through and never said another word the rest of the afternoon.
	10:46pm doctorjazz: I Remember Jack Kirby as the Marvel guru, along with Stam Lee. Was not paying attention later when he did DC comics, hadn't realized he did.
	10:47pm doctorjazz: Ok,loving the sounds,but gotta crash. Night all!
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: 'night doc
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: I met Stan Lee back in the 80s because a good friend’s family owned a newstand distribution business at that time and they distributed Marvel. I discovered that the first house Stan owned was two blocks from where I grew up. He still lived in the neighborhood at that time but in a much larger house and he moved to the west coast not long after.
	11:02pm Matt from New Orleans: I used to get all of my comics for free from about 8-13
	11:04pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m a big fan of this Brother Jack and him in general
	11:05pm Kris Holmes: yeah this is just a monster of a cut from him
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: i've never read a comic book. the first comic book i ever even glanced at was when my friend George gave me 2 of them as a birthday present when we were around 11 because they were destined to be valuable one day. (the first superman when it came back (?) and ....something else.) but a couple a years ago another friend lent/gave me "the smithsonian book of comic-book comics" (hardcover) and it's so fascinating, and entertaining that i've read most of it twice.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: funny -i was just thinking 2 songs ago reminded me of Nina's "revolution"
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, comics. I have a sidelong and non-linear relation with them that defines my work to this day.
	11:09pm chresti: Thanks Kris, goodnight everyone!
	11:10pm Kris Holmes: goodnight chresti
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: gnight chresti
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: Franco (@10.43) my 2 experiences with pcp were fantasic and fun. too bad your friend's wasn't. ...mine was probably a very low dose though. laced joints.
	11:13pm still b/p: I wasn't immersed deep, but had to smuggle 'em home a few times when mom cracked down and said I couldn't buy more until I read real books. Funny, I remember certain words being encountered for the first time in comics. One angle on comics days was that Superman/Batman I read in mid to late 60s were often older reprinted stories, so the older vibe and throwbacky aesthetic were familiar part of the exposure.
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: some of the sunday comics were like that too
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: (ie nancy; and beetle baily...)
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: - and charlie brown/peanuts. ...i say i didn't read comic books but charlie brown was a significant part of life when i was little and i did read whole books of peanuts comics. i still love it.
	11:19pm still b/p: Oh, yeah -- Mutt and Jeff, Bringing Up Father (aka Maggie and Jiggs)...
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: yeah mutt and jeff. snuffy smith ...
	11:21pm still b/p: And Henry!
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: the child me wondered why charlie brown wore a hat when he was walking outside...and -where the hell was he going? just walking?? who does that?!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, We were led to believe that the caps of dust we were doing were mescaline. I too loved it! It was only years later that a chance meeting with our high school friend who supplied us with these suspect capsules admitted to me the charade.
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: henry! it's in there, but i might have to pull up an image!
	11:26pm still b/p: You won't regret visiting Henry. Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, by other passed-pen makers, is still active -- "third longest-running and uninterrupted comics series of all time."
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: Franco mine was also clandestine. my older sister gave me 2 joints. she probably didn't even know. i went with a friend to my father's house to eat lunch and we smoked one. never made it back to school. we decided it was probably laced, and heard all the scare stories, but decided a few days later to smoke the 2nd one anyway.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: ohhh, i see. henry! i actually remember that one about the cakes!
	11:33pm still b/p: The mescaline we all did on a ski trip(!) was revealed later to have been purple microdot. Academic distinction by then, I reckon.
	🥁 11:33pm JtotheK: such a great Temptations 45!!!
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: i didn't even know what mescaline was then. i just took anything. i was told it was "like lsd" but it paled in comparison.
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: agree, such a great Eddie Kendricks lead on it
	11:36pm Franco Twinkie: Before they were codified into a "thing" comics were mysterious and evocative to me. I have spent much time trying to analyze the effect they've had on my way of looking at life.
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: Comics and drugs, Ha!
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: i suppose charlie brown affected me pretty profoundly. i always related to charlie brown, liked linus, hated lucy, hated violet even more, had a crush on peppermint patty.....
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: wow is this the original?
	11:41pm Kris Holmes: yes indeed, the gentry played with the avantis many times, covered the song with their blessing
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: they didn't change it much, just sped it up a bit
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: That is so funny! One of The Gentrys was in a drawing class my first year of college. He turned out to be a narc, and set up another guy in the class. We hated that motherfucker.
	11:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Not sure if you have cable Kris or if you do have VICELAND but this show was really interesting look into some sleazy stories from wrestling www.viceland.com...
	11:48pm Kris Holmes: Whoa Franco, that's crazy, wonder which member?
	11:49pm Kris Holmes: i don't have cable or viceland but that sounds intriguing
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: Franco haha! motherfucker, i hate 'im too!
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: I will just say this: He was so obviously NOT an art student, that it didn't surprise any of us when his cover was blown.
	11:54pm Kris Holmes: hahahahaha
	11:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. I read about the first episode somewhere and then watched the rest as they got posted but haven’t watched any of the other wrestling shows on viceland.
