Tart Time Machine: Henson Continued (Culture Vultures, November 2005)

Hi,

I'm trying to locate a copy of the cassette you referenced in the Tart Time Machine article on Jim Henson — "retold" bedtime stories (Earl was telling them to The Baby). We wore this cassette out with our oldest daughter and now have 2 toddlers again who'd eat this up ... any chance you might know where I can find a copy? Or give me the exact title and production company so I can search for it....

Thanks,

— Karen

Hi, Karen! Thanks for reading!

To our readers, I made arrangements with Karen to sell her my copy; it's not in print anymore. Still, in case anyone else is looking for it, you can find the information on it at least on this page at Amazon.com. The full title of the cassette is Dinosaurs: Classic Tales. (Tip: It might be listed in some places without the colon.)

Cheers!

An Open Letter (Features, April 2006)

I heartily concur with your well written article about Didio (and DC's) mishandling of Stephanie Brown.

I'm a male who was thrilled when she became Robin. And very sad when it was so brief.

I also think it's insulting to deny her a memorial as Robin in the Batcave.

I refuse to think Batman is that heartless, so I blame the powers that be in DC Comics.

Is there anyplace sensible to send similar sentiments to Dan Didio?

— Arne-Michael Waade

Thank you for your show of support. There's been a certain amount of negative backlash, mostly from other men, who view it as some sort of "fannish entitlement" thing, not as a feminist issue.

If you want to mail Dan DiDio (and Jann Jones), it's:

DC Comics
1700 Broadway
NYC, NY 10019

Girl Wonder also has a page devoted to writing letters, which includes a few guidelines.

Thanks for writing in!
