COSTUMED CRIMEFIGHTERS ACADEMY – Online (for the duration of the emergency)Review Lesson #31: Staying “In Character”. When in street clothing as part of one’s secret identity, it’s critical to not reveal yourself by your actions – or _re_actions. Bad enough our applicant cannot leave his “hero” persona entirely behind by wearing his logo on his t-shirt (see yesterday’s lesson). Now, he’s openly giddy over the arrival of more instructional texts. As we like to say at the Academy, Don’t blow your cool – now you’re starting to drool. (No, it’s not a quote from a graduate or faculty member; it is, nonetheless, true.) By the way – he seems to have failed to notice the publication detailing the exploits of our Class of ‘24 graduate who happens to be waiting for him in the sidecar. So enthralled is he over his purchase that he has failed to notice a patrol cruiser parked nearby with none other than the chief of police seated in it, waiting for him. I guess we’re about to see if he has learned how to handle pursuit and evasive maneuvers…

This is haunting. 70 years ago mo mother swore comic books led to trouble.
