Hey there everybody,
I'm pretty sure that as anyone who likes any kind of music and that has been here to this blog site knows without a doubt I'm really just a BIG KID at heart. I'd love to say that out of all of my Christian music CDs that I have a certain favorite one but I'd be fibbing in a bad way if I did. Yet of all the songs that I do have that are Christian related one song I can tell you has always been my favorite one and yes it does fit my way of looking at the world if you really wanna know too. From what I recall when I first had heard this song was just shortly after my granddad's passing I had for about a year and a half been attending a Friday night bible study at someone home in the city where I live. One thing I am sure of was at the time I didn't really know of Christian music radio stations all that well for all truth being told. One Friday night when one of my rides was taking me back home I heard it or perhaps that was the second time I heard it, the first time I heard it I was shaving getting ready for work at Alby that's short for Albretson's , all I can recall of this tune was ScoobyDooya and Yabbha Doha Dooya mostly. I came a few weeks later to know that the song was called "Cartoons" by a fellow called Chris Rice. I'm pretty sure GOD would find a way with this tune to bring me closer to him if I am to lost in my own way of thinking to bring me back to understanding LOVE is what MATTERS MOST on our little place called home.
To show how much of a true fan of this great comic strip I am, I'd love for any or all of you who love the web head as much as I do to visit this link Spider Man Crawl Space - All Spidey, All the time. Created by Brad Douglas in 1998 . Then please come back here to share with me Matt what you think of the said comment. Oh just so you know will it be hard to find there, no way Jose because it is the first comment right under this very strip shown right here, again thank you for reading these daily postings and just so you all know the June 23rd through till August 1st strips will be out just as soon as they can be.
Before I begin this little debate over who of the top two "S" titled comic book characters is more relate able to any children when asking about relating those heroes to Religion, Does anyone remember this 
from a set of blogs I entitled "Why do I love spider-man over any other comicbook character?", please check them out when you wish they are in the 2008 reading list. Let me ask you a very simple question that without a doubt may have a lot of answers or maybe not a one at all. "Have you ever sat down and thought how much pop culture helps little kids understand things a lot more easily, when trying to share about important subject matters? Like for example when relating to a child on their level of understanding on matters of change for a period of time on something like "We are going to be moving soon to a new home, and you'll get lots of new experiences to meet new people and make new friends" of course a kid being a kid "WILL PUT UP SOME KINDA FIGHT IN THIS AREA OR at LEAST I DID anyway, now though looking back on it I wonder why?". So let say your talking to children about GOD'S WORD better known as the BIBLE how do you relate the promises of the LORD'S goodness of virtue when talking about GOOD vs EVIL?, I think the best way would be to asking the child if they know a person that they call a hero if they do say my father or mother and even some other family member applaud them for looking at their mentors as their character builders of life. If they completely ignore your question altogether try using this tact "Okay then if not your real world relationships how about your everyday four colored world of comic book superheroes character?, most would say this fella shown here: 
,well the one most people are familiar is the one on the left side of the title of the story called ol' Green Skin, both are part of the man known as Bruce Banner and children will tell you of their rage mostly if not it being all time. Which this is great for relating to misunderstandings of evils like we all do more than not! Then you ask the same question again about "Which SUPER HERO of those comics BEST represents a closeness to you and the heavenly father and his son known as JESUS? It may take a moment or two but, more than likely it will boil down to these two 
.Well earlier this morning I was some how thinking about that said question myself while listing to K-LOVE and in a news bit they said of children polled on this very question were asked of it most of them would choose get this not the one you'd bethinking of Which would be in truth SUPERMAN, Right? well think of his story for a minute HE is sent from his dying planet called KRYPTON by HIS FATHER to a new home called EARTH? to help us mere humans know of the "POWER OF RESPECT of "ANY OUTSIDER" has love for everyone, this here sounds like GOD'S word of what happens to those who follow his SON'S teachings of understanding LOVE will be rewarded with" EVER LASTING LIFE". /span> Surprisingly though more kids can relate to ol' Spidey more so than the "MAN OF STEEL" one of Superman's better known nicknames, here is a couple of panels
that I have shown here before of how Peter Parker relates to the man known as GOD these are from PETER PARKER SPIDER-MAN Volume 2 issue # 48. Stan Lee, Peter Parker's creator has always maintained that when he started with Timely Comics/Marvel he himself nor any of the other writers or artists really ever felt the need to put into focus a message of Religious overtones into any of the characters that they created so very long ago. I am sure though that even that still holds true for comic story telling at Marvel, it by NO MEANS DOESN'T make the average comic book reader whether old or young at least a tad bit curious of what the personal faith of their super hero is? A few years ago I was sorta wondering this very question myself not so much of narrowing it down to just two comic book superheroes but out of all of them how do superheroes relate to Religion if they even do at all? I was out at the local Tri Cities PARABLE CHRISTIN BOOKSTORE looking for yet another thing altogether I am sure it was a copy of a Chris Rice CD the one with my favorite song of all that gives me peace when thing of the almighty GOD. When instead I found this
, inside is a Real treasure trove of what you can NEVER find out of your inner hero whomever they are? I am sure that there are other type of books like this out there but none get to the truth of the matter more than this one. So who of Superman or Spider-man are more tied to understanding within any religious circle is , Spider-man but are there websites that tell you the faith of any superheros in the sense of which denomination that they are personally a part of? Yes there is at least one and here is the link to it
Religion of Characters, search all fields for: Peter_Parker (characters 101 up to 150) , what is also very neat about this said site is that they also have religious beliefs of all comics supporting cast as well as the many Jokers or Green Goblins you wanna find out about it has them as well the every loving villains view on Religion too.
Hello to all,
Today I wanna share with you something, I can for sure say makes me know I'm a true fan of the genre known as Science Fiction. It was back when I was living with my mom Nancy Watson and my step father Chuck Watson when they lived here in the states, it was in nineteen ninety six when I came across this little treasure: 
. I was at the time always buying my novels at a place called the BOOKWORM , it was just a couple of streets over from where we lived, so it was a pretty frequent hang out spot for me from as far back as when I was a little guy too, in fact back in the very early part of nineteen seventy nine I recall viewing a thirty two by thirty eight size poster that had every STAR WARS movie posters on it. So what was the coolest thing about this rare poster your asking yourself, I sure huh? Well it had several mini posters with "Revenge of the Jedi" on it, and here's another cool thing about that there was a movie that I remember seeing while living in Gathierburg Maryland called "Getting it on" it was a teen date movie from nineteen eighty that was really awful. It had a scene it it though I will never forget a teenager girl and boy were talking about going to a movie and the boy says "well how about we go see that "REVENGE OF THE JEDI" flick, huh?" I think it is the only movie you will NEVER find on DVD if you look for it. Sorry about being on a STAR WARS shtick for a moment there, I just thought it would be a cool tidbit to share here, even though this really about the book above. In this you learn some really rare and neat type of things about SF. Like What your wanting to know huh?, well it tell you the actual beginnings of Science Fiction through out the world, it separates how it is different from the genre known as Fantasy, it talks of many sub parts of the fiction itself: utopia, women,robots,and other peculiarities (that a name of one of the chapters by the way). It talks of the Mass culture effect which is basically movies, TV shows, and of course comic books, in outselling a classic novel say of H.G. Wells, all the way to magazine editor of the early parts of the depression era H.P. Lovecraft. It even tells us that shortly after a very famous radio broadcast that the date of the very first science fiction convention for the united states was in New York on July 2,1939. In fact it has been so long since I read it I may sometime soon read it just to getting back into the said genre I love most of all!
Believers of faith, here is a follow up from just a couple days ago when I was writing about "Something we ALL have" I posed a lot of different takes of what I was getting to which was FAITH! Now I'd like to share with you how I came about finding mine if that is OK with you and if not I will understand that reading how might strike a cord with you that is upsetting. When I was a young boy in my young mind I always thought that FAITH was defined by your own actions of doing right from wrong in how one would express their feelings toward another human being with a thing called luck of angelical know how, sure by this time I knew about the book called the Bible and the people in it's many stories and I had known a lot about GOD'S Love for us but did I truly know what FAITH was? I can say I knew the word's princpal meaning such as what it stands for in ONE ON ONE basis at least in a small way with everyone I know. Yet even though I've known of it in this way I NEVER HAD put my trust in defining FAITH between Matt and GOD, this really wasn't a problem to me for I knew GOD loves me for HE shows it to me in ways I can't imagine. Then HE gave me a wake up call in a BIG WAY in October 1993, my father's mother Nelle Byrd had gone to be with JESUS, I was so torn up inside but NOT because I hadn't exprinced someone dying before, but because Nelle Byrd and Ben Powers who was my mother's father were the MAIN TWO people I looked at as MY teachers of GOD and HIS WORD. After attending her ferunal services my mom & Chuck were off on another business trip to Russia and I had accompanied them to the Tri Cities airport after seeing them off I was waiting for the Ben Franklin Transit bus sevrice to take me to back to Richland, on that ride I met a young lady named Karen who was studying her Bible. I figured I'd strike up a conversation with her about what it was she was reading, (see at first since I didn't know her I didn't know she was reading her Bible I thought it was just some random book) when we had pulled into Knight street transit center in Richland I felt a lot more at ease with her as I had my grandparents as teachers of understanding of GOD. Karen had told me that she has a Friday night Bible study at her home and gave me a track of "WHERE DO YOU PLACE FAITH IN YOUR WALK OF LIFE?" That day was on a Wenseday I took it home and over the next two days I read it five times, I then went to her home that Friday night and was opened with open arms to a new respect for what FAITH has meaning wise when "WE Choose what choice, WE need for our peace of mind and being"
Boy what a title for this very posting huh?, I only found this out just a couple of days ago myself and I was really trying to come up with a True Eye Popping title for talking about this very subject. And I thought about the word that would fit change for such a Iconic comic book character and the word I felt worked best is "STRIPPED" and I felt since I try to keep most things that I post about here respectable, it was better than saying Wonder Woman running around in her comics lately naked. I was wondering do most people know of her history at all? So I felt I would share with you all what you may not know of her history?, before I show you her current threads. Wonder Woman was created by two men wwwwwaaaaayyyy bbbbaaaaacccckkkkk in the latter part of the nineteen thirties to rival these two
, already iconic comic super heroes who DID have there first appearance(s) of at the time shortly before World war II started for America, anyway. Superman officially began in May/June in the periodical put out by National Allied publication /All American publication called
and exactly a year later Batman came out in the company's new forged name
as the hero of nineteen thirty nine, by Bob Kane and the rarely known Bill Finger Batman's writer. Wonder Woman's two creators were much like Batman's & Superman's (Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster) were William Marston & Harry G. Peter who was the character's artist in fact here is his first sketch of
what was to be the amazon princess known as Wonder Woman. (In fact the character's name wasn't wonder woman at first more on that shortly), Wonder Woman's creator Marston was a very strong believer in feminist rights for all women in his lifetime. He lived a life style of a ployamorous relationship with his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Bryne. (Not KNOWN by me anyway, if this is a relative of the comic artist and writer John Bryne.) Will Marston had seen the success as I said of the two boys in the comic book world and wanted to throw in a female counterpart, so he molded this fictitious female character after his wife and Olive as the main template of her origin with the character being more like Superman than Batman in that she would be god like. So Marston started her roots as related to the Greek Gods in Greek/Roman histories and her world was invaded by man, the character lived on a peaceful island known as Paradise Island with her sisters. After winning a contest that her own mother forbade her entrance she becomes the representative of Paradise Island in what is known as Man's world. Her name was to be "SUPERMA", when editor Sheldon Mayer saw this he changed the character's name to "Wonder Woman", before her first story was released in 
dated for the year of 1941.It was a full six months later that Wonder Woman got her own official title, Marston also had another part of a something he helped improved in the early nineteen twenties be apart of Wonder Woman by way of the character's golden lasso. What was it your asking right?, well here is the answer what is the Golden Lasso capable of doing to anyone bound by it, even wonder woman herself is powerless to this? It is that the person ensnared by it must tell the truth no matter what! Marston before creating "Superma" as he called her was a actual inventor and psychologist and he helped make the lie detector/polygraph machine more infective
,by adding a metabolism reader for blood rate and he made the detector itself easier to hook up to and individual undergoing such a test. When he was writing the comic he would indulge in having the title character Dania Prince catch someone in the lasso, now as to "IF THIS " was to fulfill his own fantasies of sexual bondage is truly unknown "OR IF" to promote the new adaptions he put in place on the already fifty three year old device. The Lie detector or such types of prototypes of it were first started in Africa in eighteen eighty five, it wasn't till about the nineteen hundred that such prototypes made there way to North America the man who modernized it before Marston was a gentleman by the name of Cesare Lombroso and that was in nineteen hundred and four. Marston wrote Wonder Woman from nineteen forty three till his shortly before his death in nineteen forty seven. Harry G Peters stayed on as her artist till a few months before his passing in nineteen fifty eight. Most comic book writers right after Marston's death didn't know which way to take the character at first, but for the general storytelling they mostly kept her in the World War era or on Paradise Island then in the latter part of the sixties they made a complete change in her character where she wasn't a super powered heroine at all but rather a flower shop girl like Janet Wood from Three's Company here is what she looked like back then 
this was kept up through the mid nineteen seventies when something had happen for the character via a campy show for one of the two men she was trying to compare to in the nineteen forties & fifties. That show was BATMAN that starred Adam West & Burt Ward as the Caped crusaders. 
The developer of that series William Dozier was ask to make a Wonder Woman series in that same format in nineteen sixty seven but it just didn't work out. Wonder Woman's history with the small screen was truly just beginning at the time for even through she couldn't be in a live action series as of yet, she did enjoy many forms of animation at the time. Then in nineteen seventy four two years after this writer was born, a TV movie of the week was made 
with Cathy Lee Crosby as Wondy, and as you can rightfully see the costume just didn't sell the show neither did the actress with blond hair. Something about this gave the excessive at ABC a chance to reconsider his choice for the lead character when the production replaced Crosby with a unknown at the time Lynda Crater 
who embodied the comic look of the character herself. Sadly after just a season of the show (1976), the rating were very high still ABC thought that they couldn't do anymore with her story in that summer CBS brought the syndication of ABC's rights and put Wonder Woman into present time story lines with cast in toe as well! Altogether Wondy's live action series ran for two more years.In the character's comic history writers just had a very hard time making her work in the seventies, so they decided to make the character like the TV series and had her in World War II and as a spy in present day. Till nineteen eighty five when DC comics came up with the best way to update their whole comic universe, what they did was come up with a storyline to separate the timelines. The story was known as "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS" 
(Boy what I wouldn't do to see MARVEL clean up their comic universe, especially of late), Well anyway after this Wonder Woman was now a Ambassador from "Themycia" (Paradise Island's:new name).She is more confined to here more than in "Man's World" when she is in "Man's World" her troubles still seek her out, unlike in the early seventies and early eighties where she was split like the rest of her compatriots before that said crossover in 1985. A quick note back in 1986 for four months the character had no title of her own, I guessing this was to set her apart completely for a while. This summer former AMAZING SPIDER-MAN SCRIBE (that's a fancifully wording for writer/author), Micheal J.Straczynski takes Diana in a "NO HOLDS BAR, I'M TAKING BACK" story of finding her place in her own mind & world, So here is a look 
at Diana's take charge look with her many other classical comic looks over her sixty nine years as a representative of Feminist right is justifiable as Masculinity is for males.Just respect women for who they are whether they are Wonderful lovers or your everyday friend is what I'm and hopefully every story of Diana Prince boils down too.
