Big Daddy Danger, what's that? Well, it's a little discussed/little known DC Comic about a superhero professional wrestler. Why are we talking about it? Well, how else would I be able to shoe-horn a conversation about my own life and times as a professional wrestler... for about six months or so.

Today I'm revisiting an episode wherein I discuss my last trip to a Comic Book Convention... along with my overall distaste for the "current year" Convention racket, and how I let me preciosity get in the way of a great friendship. Oh, also heat-stroke... because I got it that weekend!
And heyyy, I just found out I can no longer drag inserted images where I'd like them to go! Way to keep letting me down, Blogger! Just when I think you're the worst thing ever, you make me pine for how lousy you were just yesterday!
And Ho-lee crap, now I can't toggle HTML without great swaths of my writing vanishing into the ether? Are you kidding me? This is a product from Google, right? I can't be the only person having these problems, can I?
Welp, lemme jump through the hoops and try and revert back to "Legacy Blogger".

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 32: Superman and Me / Me and Superman
Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode #32
"Superman & Me / Me & Superman"
Received an odd-ish message this past weekend from a long-time reader who expressed interest in getting into comics podcasting. They asked if I had any advice on how to get started, and for lack of a better way of putting it, if I knew of any "best practices".
This isn't a question I get often, as I'm sure anyone who knows me well enough to ask... knows that once that box is opened, I'll probably talk your ear off about it for days. If I were to guess, I probably only got the question this time because, on the most recent episode of Chris is on Infinite Earths, I suggested that the Chris and Reggie Channel may start "hosting" content from other creators sometime down the line.
So, let's talk about it! Right below the fold...

ReMarvel, Episode 6: The X-Men and Me / Me and the X-Men
Remarvel, Episode 6
"The X-Men and Me / Me and the X-Men"
Well, it looks like "Legacy Blogger" is no longer an option (without jumping through some hoops)... and the new-look disaster has been foisted upon us. When I tried accessing the dashboard and found the new bubbly, fake-ass-"app" looking interface, the eternal optimist in me hoped that maybe, just maybe... I'd now be able to go back to batch uploading images. I hoped that today, in this very paragraph, I'd be able to report that the drought is over - that Blogger actually fixed what wasn't broken before they started effing with it.
Not so much. Looks like it's the same ol' same ol'. I can upload as many images as I want... but, if I dare to actually insert one into an article... all the rest of them vanish, and have to be uploaded again. There really has to be an easier way. Am I the only idiot still using Blogger?

Cosmic Treadmill Presents... Comix Tawk, Episode 11: "Teen Titans, the Early Years"
Cosmic Treadmill Presents... Comix Tawk, Episode #11
"Teen Titans, the Early Years"
Have a title-specific installment of Comix Tawk to share this week... which was meant to be the first episode of a multi-part series wherein we discussed the lives and times of the Teen Titans.
Rather than referring to this as a "Part One", we will just look at it as our look at "The Early Years" of that team we enjoy so much.
