Our Marilyn comic actually came out way back in 1992! The http://www.marilynmonroemurdered.com website seems to have been familiar with the comic, but the suppository angle has been floated around since at least the '80s, so it wasn't a new or novel notion even in '92. Few seem to follow up on it tho, and your fiction approach seems like a great way to present a tale that may well prove someday to be based on truth! I look forward to reading the whole book - — March 1, 2012 10:23 a.m.

This grabbed my interest enough to make me want to pick it up. I'm a complete dumbass when it comes to downloading books online. I see you have this on CreateSpace - is that the best way to get a plain text version that doesn't require Kindle for PC or some kind of viewing program that I don't already have on my stone age 'puter? We did a "Who Killed Marilyn Monroe?" comic book awhile back - excerpts are posted at http://www.basesg.com/page/5/ http://www.crazyedscomics.com/files/marilyn_consp… http://www.tomchristopher.com/home/Comic%20Histor… If you're interested in getting a copy, contact me offsite and I'll shoot one your way!— February 28, 2012 10:16 a.m.
Deepest Dimension Terror Anthology: Inside Story of a Local Twilight Zone Spin-Off
Ha, so Homer didn't approve of Harlan Ellison? I wonder how he knew Harlan's story about a telepathic dog was in the library anthology? Perhaps your dog friend, given his name, preferred Greek literature. I sure would like to know what goes on inside the minds of our furry and feathered friends sometimes -- thanks for commenting!— February 26, 2012 3:04 a.m.
North San Diego County's Coaster will get advertising all over it
Elizabeth Salaam has been turning in consistently strong reports like this one, covering topics almost untouched elsewhere. Her work bridges the "stringer" citizen journalist entries covering neighborhood news and the "hard" news reporting of longtime Reader staffers like Matt Potter and Ernie Grimm. It takes a nose for news to spot a story in garish train advertising, and a reporter's drive to strike up conversations with strangers on a train, in order to get "the people's voice" and POV into print. Very commendable -— February 22, 2012 9:54 p.m.

This fascinating story continues to yield intriguing and thought-provoking avenues of exploration and research, thanks to these well-informed comments - I'm off to spend a coupla (more) hours in Rife's world!— February 22, 2012 8:20 p.m.

Field of Screens: Drive-in theaters in San Diego
I've always thought the most brilliant idea ever for dealing with neighbors who complain about a nearby drive-in theater was what the Frontier DI nears Sports Arena did with the nearby apartment complex - They built a neighborhood "viewing room" onto the apartments, facing one of the screens, and piped in the sound (via FM) for free! I understand the Frontier even placed snack machines in there, so they still made money off the neighborhood "viewers," even tho the movies themselves were free --— February 17, 2012 10:42 p.m.
