DRAMA MAMA

High school had its high points and low points. Reconnecting with old classmates that you’ve not seen in decades is certainly a high point. I have Facebook to thank for that and two of my dear high school mates – Gay and Elena – who keep the high school spirit alive with their regular postings [...]

LET’S VOLT IN!

The mystery took more than 15 years to be resolved. Volume 20 of Voltes V reveals that the three brothers – Steve, Big Bert and Little John – are royalty. They’re Boazanian princes and their arch nemesis Prince Zardos is their half-brother. Dr. Armstrong/Lord Hrothgar is stunned beyond belief until he sees the dagger with [...]

BULLIES

I thought I had dodged bullies when I entered high school. Elementary was a nice place until religion was introduced in class and paradise became the lair of Pluto. It began with my sanctimonious homeroom teacher who took a particular dislike to freethinkers (I was the only one in class) and it was buttressed by [...]
