Just noticed that "'Mazing Man's two married friends" are named Brenda and
Eddie. How much you want to bet that they're named after the characters in
Billy Joel's excellent song "Scenes from an Italian Resteraunt", off of his
"Strangers" album? If anyone runs into Rokazis at a convention, I'd
appreciate someone asking him.
No takers, eh? Gutless wimps... :-)

Along the same lines, I seem to recall an X-Men in years past (160s?) that had in a crowd scene a bearded reporter named Rick hollering to a blonde, older woman named "Joanie" -- Doonsebury creeps into everything !! :-) Liz Vaughan {allegra,ihnp4,decvax,ucbvax}tektronix!tektools!lizv

C. ( logical, since that's where the Redferns live, as I recall ). It was probably in X-MEN 242. RD "Fozz" Francis ..!cbosgd!osu-eddie!francis or francis@osu-eddie.UUCP

Like rock and roll, comics tends to be an art form where self adulation is encouraged. -- two to the power of five thousand against and falling ...
