A Sense of Doubt blog post #4164 - Creamsicle of Asgard - SoD Reprint from 2018

It was time to reprint the Creamsicle post.

Thanks for tuning in.

LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.

BLOG VACATION #1 - 2026 - Taking a blog vacation for a couple of weeks, until at least June 26th, 2026. But now that it's past June 26, I am not sure when I am resuming normal operations. Mostly reprints. A few simple shares (not that simple shares are out of the norm) and THAT ONE THING. Need time for other things.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1091 - Creamsicle of ASGARD

From the Graphic Novel "I, Whom the Gods Would Destroy."

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1091 - Creamsicle of ASGARD


Hi Mom,

Good THOR STUFF.

I must confess that the image above and cartoon introduction came from a Fanfare newsletter sometime in 2017, surely the products of the wonderful imagination of newsletter curator and made genius Josh Upson. So I cannot take credit for the creamsicle. It's too good.






Not to make light of it, but the woman wielding the hammer as the Mighty Thor has passed away in the Marvel Comics, and the Odinson is due to take back the mantle of Thor, worthy or not.

The Mighty Thor has been one of Marvels' most consistently well written and visually beautifully rendered comics of the last five years, mainly due to the efforts of Jason Aaron and a legion of artists, including Russell Dauterman and Esad Ribić.

The debut of a woman wielding the hammer of Thor shook the Marvel universe and fandom. It was a great idea and one born for a long term story arc, as we still do not know what Thor was told back in the Original Sin mini series that made him unworthy to lift Mjolnir.

The debut of a woman Thor was also smartly done as it was not revealed for nearly a year who was the human woman in possession of Thor's hammer and transformed to the God of Thunder by wielding the enchanted Uru hammer.

Genius idea!!

When we learned that the human in power was Jane Foster and that she had cancer and was dying, the story took on an even more poignant and powerful pathos.

This panel below shows off one of the best moments in the run.

I could go on and on about what made this run great, but I had promised myself to keep my comments somewhat short. So...



However, I can go quite yet. If I get into a comic book subject, there must be an art and cover gallery!

Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.

- Days ago: MOM = 4028 days ago & DAD = 682 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
