Shawn likes throwing rice at superheroes


As a kid, Batman Family was one of my all time favorite books.
I loved Robin and it was fantastic to have a book
with his adventures.
Sometimes solo, sometimes teamed up with Batgirl,
but always great.
And I've always loved anthology books.
I always felt so much better when I was getting
3 or 4 stories in one book.

Unfortunately, as is the case with so many comics -
the cover is slightly misleading.
Although Robin and Batgirl do 'get married' - - -
it's all an eloborate hoax to amass a bunch of
mobsters in one place -
all the easier to round them up
into the paddy wagons that are waiting outside the theater.
But the most upsetting part - is that in the actual book
they aren't wearing their "FAAAAAAAB-U-LOUS!"
updated matrimonial outfits
- and THAT'S a major crime!

*But Batgirl IS wearing white! ;-)

Shawn likes Discovery Island

In December, 1994 I had my first
(and only) trip to
Disney's Discovery Island.
Although I'm not much of a nature boy,
I loved my experience there.
It was only accessible by boat and
becuase it wasn't teeming with tourists,
you felt very special being there.
As you'd expect, the theming was great
and it was like you were in a tropical forest.
The wooden walkways were wide,
and everywhere you looked
your field of vision was filled with
wildlife and incredible creatures.
This attraction is now closed
and most of the inhabitants moved over to
Disney's Animal Kingdom when that park opened in 1998.











Here are a few of the snapshots I took while on the island:


You'll see this beautiful flowing stream in the video below.
Luckily for us, it didn't rain the day
WE were there. (you'll see)


I loved seeing the Galapagos Tortoises.
As we were walking towards them
they came right up to us for attention!
I was worried that they would try to bite us,
but they loved being petted.
We were told that they were over
100 years old!

Shawn likes the DC Superheroes Picture Frame

This is the GREAT looking DC Superheroes picture frame that was available from
the Warner Bros. Studio Store.
I think every character looks so good, even those who up to this point had not been featured in a "Bruce Timm style" animated show.


The sly way that Poison Ivy is looking at Catwoman is so in character with the animated version.
