sense of doubt

Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #183 - 366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #183 - 366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson

SUBTITLE: Day 1: Every day means the turn of a page / Yesterday’s papers are such bad news
-"Yesterday's Papers" - The Rolling Stones

Hi Mom, And we're back to comics. A bit of a cheat today as I am just going to repost the first day of this Massachusetts based blogger's blog and a few of the recent, great, throwback pages of the great, iconic J. Jonah Lameson.... oops, that's a funny typo!! I mean, J. Jonah Jameson.

I am not sure how I found this guy's blog

BULLY SAYS COMICS OUGHTA BE FUN!

But I did find it, and I have subscribed as a follower. I have the new blog entries appear on my own Blogger overview page, which then lists me as an official follower.

I thought I had written about Bully Says before (BTW, Bully is a stuffed bull) on this blog, but it was another comic book blog I found that I featured in
COMICS FOR 1408.27, in which I shared one of my favourite comics GIANT SIZE DEFENDERS #3. One can obtain the entire issue at that link.

Anyway, I was captivated by Bully's post as he begins a year of the inimitable J. Jonah Jameson. Do you know who else described himself as "inimitable"? Charles Dickens.

Anyway (again), I was inspired to share the launch post for 366 days of J. Jonah Jameson, when I realized that 2016 will provide us with 366 days, meaning that given that I also h ave to post on February 29th, my blog is REALLY 366 days, which gives us a midway point of today without a fraction.

I hope that if BitterAndrew or Bully stumble upon my re-posting of his Jameson daily that I will be forgiven as I am giving due credit and links back to BullysComics and specifically the first JJJ post of 2016: HERE.

366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 1: Every day means the turn of a page / Yesterday’s papers are such bad news

Welcome to brand-spankin'-new 2016, and a fresh-off-the-press366 Days with...! Yes, it's the year that gives you an extra year bonus, almost as if it knew we were a little strapped for dimes even tho' we'd been saving them up to buy that Giant-Size Foggy Nelson #4 back issue we've had our beady little black button eyes on.

This year, all year: 366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson! (Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.) Yes, one of Marvel's most dynamic and entertaining supporting characters — he's been around since the very early days of the Marvel Age, appearing in Spider-Man's second appearance and bedeviling our web-slinging pal (and his amazing friends) for years and years! Yes, J. Jonah Jameson, your friendly neighborhood newspaper editor-in-chief (and occasional Hizzoner of New York City) with the flattop and the Hitler 'stache! i honestly believe that there is no other supporting character who has made as many appearances in Marvel comics, so if this really gets rolling, we may be running into 2017 and beyond with no end in sight. Plus: looks like we'll get lots of appearances along the way by Daily Bugle stalwarts Robbie Robertson, Betty Brant, Glory Grant, the occasional Earth-7840 J. Jonah Jackass, and plenty of examples of that ever-popular trope, Newspapers Don't Look Like That!

Let's kick off a year and a day hangin' with Mister J. by recapping his very first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #1. The one, the only, the original...J. Jonah Jameson!

HOLY COW that Daily Bugle is two and a half feet wide!

Special clip-n-save New Year's Day bonus panel: a Spider-Man wanted poster! Make dozens of copies and pin 'em to your friendly neighborhood telephone poles! Who knows — you might be the one to bring in the dangerous threat and/or menace!

Thus, Kraven the Grocer contemplates a career change.
