Reading bet..."I admire your philosophy." Reading between the lines, Jack knew what Julie was doing when bringing a hot young girl around. Jack loved Roz, so whatever affection he had for other girls, he was married to Roz and that was that. Period. Dot. Thor hammering it into the ground for emphasis. Colleen was a fangirl and Jack had long since learned how to treat fangirls. Julie was a peer, but Jack had assumed his kingly duties and likewise knew how to treat his peers. This was a Marvel Party, not a DC Party, and Julius Schwartz turns up with a hot young girl?<br /><br />Although Jack had a notoriously bad memory, I don't think he missed a beat. He has no idea who this Dave Sim person is - and Dave's reviews of "Fourth World" wouldn't help - but he knew Dave as someone on his side. He probably never read "Cerebus" and Dave is more generous than I that Jack ever read any of Dave's work in "The Comics Journal." Jack had heard about him or read enough of his work somewhere to immediately turn away from a hot girl to shake some guy's hand and truthfully say "I admire your philosophy."<br /><br />Consciously or not, Dave knew the right thing to do, Jack knew the right thing to do, Colleen knew the right thing to do, and then there's Julie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-17577384420478643272016-04-08T20:46:51.101-05:002016-04-08T20:46:51.101-05:00That's not a picture taken 1981, that's 19...That's not a picture taken 1981, that's 1984.
