STAN LEE died a little while ago! We should all have been prepping for the eventuality, but it's still no less a shock to the cultural universe—especially to me because he was my mentor and we've stayed in touch more than 50 years! It's the END OF AN ERA! RIP, my old friend!!!

Nonetheless, we had a series of confrontations, including one so intense that Stan FIRED ME ON THE SPOT! I'd never seen him so angry before or since! But, his benevolence ultimately overrode the rift—he FORGAVE MY SINS, brought me back into the fold!

Good evening, Henchmen—and when I use that word I'm automatically including Henchwomen, perhaps in a manner similar to that of Liberals with their gender-cocked agendas! Am I adding to the confusion? Don't take my word for it—ask Corn Pop! So, who'll fire the first shot tonight?

Heard that DC is distributing outside the DIAMOND SYSTEM, and that they've offered all titles FREE in digital form! That's seems to be a ploy TO BREAK DOWN RESISTANCE to DIGITAL COMIX! But kids today LIVE on line and will easily EMBRACE electronic delivery! Goodbye pamphlet!!!

I phoned JOHN ROMITA again over the Christmas holiday to extend my best wishes for another year of health and happiness!

Jerry Siegel revealed to me in a face-to-face discussion in his LA apartment that he and Joe Shuster had SUBMITTED SUPERMAN SAMPLES TO EISNER (and his sweat-shop partner Jerry Iger) previous to their DC agreement!

Did I mention I call my girlfriend FIRECRACKER because she has red hair—and bangs? A rockin' 4th to all my Henchmen brothers, to all those who defended us in the past—and all those prepared to fight for what they believe in as the future unfolds! Be SMART! Be SAFE! And be COOL!!!

Like it or not, I'm in the house—and I feel like we have our work cut out for us, Henchmen! At the risk of being overly dramatic, our little TNT sessions are built around a single precept: WE FIGHT FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN! And this situation is too wildly OUT OF CONTROL to ignore!

Been a VERY TOUGH week for America, but I'm hoping all Henchmen are still hanging in—with real dedication! We're AT WAR with an INVISIBLE ENEMY! But the way to suppress it is deceptively simple: BACK OFF SIX FEET! It's a radical, new lifestyle, but could be a helluva lot worse!!!

Happy Easter, Henchmen! Hope you've spent the day with family and friends, catching up on whatever you've missed during the hurricane of events harrowing America these days! Maybe you can spend the last few hours of the holiday with me and the Brotherhood of Henchmen—waddaya say?

HENCHMEN, EVERYWHERE! Just got what looks like security-code clearance, thanx to my BRILLIANT tech-wizard associate TYLER F! It's taken months to resolve the situation, but wanted you to be the first to get the news! Hope to see you here next week for another rockin' TNT session!

Were you shocked when Uncle Joe allowed a Chinese observation balloon to CROSS THE USA without recourse? Had that airship carried and dropped LETHAL GERM CONTAMINANTS (like CoVid), all Americans could be DEAD BY NOW! He'll never be satisfied until the Chinese have crushed us!!!

I know there's massive resistance to future vaccine problems, but, in my position, I opted to take it! My reaction to the shot—ZERO! No problems, and I slept like a baby last night! That's probably because I have NO MEDICAL CONDITIONS and TAKE NO MEDS! ZERO!!!

Joyous Christmas, Henchmen! Guessing many regulars are terminally busy tonight, but to those who are present—and the others—I need to express my gratitude for your interest, intellect and introspection THROUGHOUT THE YEAR—TNT is like Santa on overtime! Every time!

The rules for avoiding CV are pretty damned simple—even I can comprehend 'em! We should all be doing it by the book these days—especially me! No complaints! I've been in helluva lot TOUGHER SITUATIONS—and this feels like a piece of cake by comparison! Make it happen!!!
