Was a real pleasure to go to my first StokerCon! Didn't take home an award, but was an honor to be nominated - and to get to meet some very nice people IRL who I'd just known on here before, including @emilyhughes.bsky.social, @johnlangan.bsky.social, and @paultremblay.bsky.social! A great time!

I could read these parents/kid reviews all day long. This was fantastic.

Two points re this, one less relevant than the other: 1. as someone now working on a cultural history of the Eighties, worth pointing out that Trump came to popularity at ground zero of Les Mis's impact on Broadway/NY 2. The lyrics are so good it's hard to believe they're essentially translations

I do think that most people (not the OP, obviously!) don't know, and would be intrigued to learn, how much lower status the comic book was to the comic strip, and the comic-book artist to the comic strip cartoonist, at the time of ACTION COMICS 1.

We have been blessed to live in an age of remarkable songwriters and songs, but it's possible that "God Only Knows" is the platonic ideal of the pop song. Not sure it will ever be passed. RIP to one of the best ever to do it.
