The home page of Google often has these little graphics called Google Doodles that salute someone or something for a day. A movement has been started on the 'net to get Google to note Jack Kirby on August 28, 2017. That's the date Jack would have turned 100 years old if he was still with us.
I think (forgive me if I'm wrong) that this campaign was started by a writer-cartoonist named "Calamity" Jon Morris. He is urging Kirby fans to send an e-mail to proposals@google.com with the subject line of "Google Doodle for Jack Kirby – August 28, 2017." In the body of the message, explain why Jack deserves this honor. If you're the kind of Kirby fan who would take the time to do this, you probably can list fifty reasons. I wrote the following in my message to them…
Jack Kirby was one of the great creative geniuses of the 20th century, bringing us a whole visual language birthed in comic books, and co-creating characters like Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, The X-Men, Thor, The Fantastic Four, The Silver Surfer and countless others that will endure forever. Though widely celebrated within the comic book industry, he has not received nearly enough recognition outside that field. A Google Doodle on what would have been his 100th birthday would do much to rectify that oversight.
I don't know who crafts these things but whoever the Doodles Weaver is, I hope he or she realizes how deserving Jack is.
