A good time was had by all.
Saturday from the Archives

So this week I did something not just stupid, but spectacularly stupid.
Saturday in the Castle of the Devil

- Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 at 3:08 PM EST
It's very nerdy, I will admit that up front. But nevertheless, this is the sort of thing that never fails to tickle me.

Well, it's been a week. Let's see whose bronze-fu was the strongest, shall we?
Friday's Trivial Pursuit - Bronze Edition
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, January 8th, 2010 at 11:33 PM EST
Last time we did this it was a lot of fun for me and you folks seemed to enjoy it too, even those of you who were just interested onlookers. So it's time for another hardcore trivia quiz.
Saturday's Annual Inventory for 2010 (and 1970)
- by Greg Hatcher
- Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 at 6:04 PM EST
Welcome to 2010, everyone. As is usual for my first column of the new year, I'm going to look at my pull list and see what I'm getting and decide what stays and what goes.
This year, though, I decided I'd do something a little different.
Saturday's Best Reprint Collections Of 2009
- by Greg Hatcher
- Saturday, December 26th, 2009 at 10:59 PM EST
When I was asked to contribute my picks for CBR's Top 100 for 2009, I was flattered to be included, but I often found myself stonkered by the fact that reprint collections were ruled out.
Because, well, I'm old, and reprint collections are the bulk of my comics purchases, any more. It got a little frustrating... [...]
Another Friday In The Mailroom
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, December 18th, 2009 at 11:59 PM EST
One of the minor pleasures of this weekly column gig is that I get all kinds of interesting mail. I try to answer everything, and once in a while I get something that's worth sharing here. We have a few of those this week... some updates, some Batman, some Doc Savage, some answers to frequently-asked [...]
Friday With The Focus Group
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, December 11th, 2009 at 3:00 PM EST
I haven't done this in a while, but I do occasionally pass on review copies of the things I get to my 6th-grade cartooning students and ask them what they think of them, and I've got a few of those right here.
Another Friday in the Schoolteacher Archives

Here's a story from my earliest days of teaching the Cartooning Class.
Friday in the City of Domes
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, November 27th, 2009 at 11:59 PM EST
It was a 1967 novel that spawned two sequels, a big-budget Hollywood movie from a major studio, a television series, a line of toys, and four separate comics adaptations from four different publishers.
And yet, when you say "Logan" to a comics fan today, the assumption is that you must be talking about Wolverine. Fame is [...]
R.I.P. Sonny Trinidad

- Thursday, November 26th, 2009 at 1:49 PM EST
I was sorry to hear that we lost another one of the Bronze Age greats from my childhood. Sonny Trinidad passed away three days ago, on November 23rd.
Friday's Cross-Hatchings for November '09
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, November 20th, 2009 at 1:02 PM EST
Like several of you, I also decided I liked "Cross-Hatchings" best of all the suggestions for titling the occasional hodge-podge column. Many thanks to Sam L. for coining it.
Since embarking on the just-concluded month-long series of columns about comfort food, the hodge and the podge have been rather piling up, so let's get to it, [...]
Saturday's Comfort Zone Wrapup
- by Greg Hatcher
- Saturday, November 14th, 2009 at 9:20 PM EST
Finally, our conclusion.
Here's part one, part two, and part three. I really had intended, when I first outlined this, to keep it to one or at most two columns. What can I say? Comfort food's a staple around here lately. Between cold and flu season, and then hosting our godson Phenix for a couple of [...]
One Week From Tonight....
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 11:00 AM EST
...if you should happen to be in the west Seattle area. A great many of my former students are involved in this production.
Including, I believe, designing this poster.
We are certainly going to be there. The last one we attended was a great deal of fun.
