I have a friend who's going to vote the Biden/Harris ticket but he said to me last night that he wishes it was the Bernie Sanders/Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ticket. My pointing out that Congressperson Ocasio-Cortez is too young to serve in that capacity did not put a dent in my friend's fantasy.
I would favor Bernie over Biden in the White House but I think I favor Biden over Bernie as a candidate. The Republicans were going to try and paint whoever the Democrats nominated as a crazed, America-destroying radical and we didn't need to make it easier on them. Mike Pence is now out there claiming Biden/Harris would stop the eating of animals. That's how hard it is to make Biden out to be a left-wing looney.
And once again, though it rarely works for me, I'm going to try to not think too much about Trump or the election this weekend. One reason it's hard is because Friday night is when you try and release news you don't want to get a lot of notice.
People keep asking me what I think is going to happen with DC Comics. Given that some of these people are in a much better position than I am to know that, I conclude that I could not possibly know that.
And a reporter just e-mailed me to ask for a quote for an article about when comic book conventions will return in full flourish. I have the same answer: I don't know. That's a very good answer for most questions these days, especially since nobody knows. I continue to believe that the secret to living in the present is learning to live with a lot of big "I don't know"s in your life. Right now, I'll be happy if I have a good idea of what time my groceries will be delivered.
As I mentioned, next Tuesday at 7 PM Pacific Time, I'll be doing a one-on-one Conversation with my pal Kurt Busiek, who has written a lot of the better comic books I've read in the last decade or two. He's also a pretty knowledgeable guy about the comic book industry and how things work in it.
As I haven't mentioned but am mentioning now, next Thursday at 7 PM Pacific Time, I'm turning my little webcast series over to a guest host. Sergio Aragonés wants to interview me for 90 minutes or so. I have no idea what about but tune in and we'll find out together. We may swap recipes for an hour-and-a-half.
