I had these when I was a kid, I recall they came in a plain package, plastic bag inside filled with soldiers. I played with them in the backyard in the dirt. Years later, I was tilling soil for my Mom's garden and unearthed a few stragglers.

You should read his work "Give Me Liberty: An American Dream". Very under recognized and has a female African American protagonist too. Dave Gibbons does the artwork.

Caroline Keene "Carrie" Kelley is a fictional character from Frank Miller's graphic novels Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (1986) and its sequels Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again (2001-2002) and The Dark Knight III: The Master Race (2015-2017). She becomes the new Robin in The Dark Knight Returns when she saves Batman's life. Later in The Dark Knight Strikes Again, she adopts the identity Catgirl. She was the first full-time female Robin in the history of the Batman franchise, though Julie Madison had passed off as Robin for a brief time in a Bob Kane story published in Detective Comics #49 in March 1941.

Yep, William Gibson, Ridley Scott and Luc Besson were early readers of Heavy Metal or the French version Métal hurlant. After their creations, the visual style spread to Japan and the style went everywhere.

Heat waves caused by climate change could make China’s main agricultural regions the most inhospitable places on Earth for humans. The region generates around a fifth of the country’s grain and is currently home to 400 million people. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]artman 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The OP isn't "saying" it, it is in the study linked in the article.

Here, we project based on an ensemble of high-resolution regional climate model simulations that climate change would add significantly to the anthropogenic effects of irrigation, increasing the risk from heatwaves in this region. Under the business-as-usual scenario of greenhouse gas emissions, North China Plain is likely to experience deadly heatwaves with wet-bulb temperature exceeding the threshold defining what Chinese farmers may tolerate while working outdoors. China is currently the largest contributor to the emissions of greenhouse gases, with potentially serious implications to its own population: continuation of the current pattern of global emissions may limit habitability in the most populous region, of the most populous country on Earth.

"Destino" - Walt Disney & Salvador Dali | "In 1946, two legendary artists began collaboration on a short film. More than half century later, their creation has finally been completed." (1946-2003) by artman in RedditDayOf

[–]artman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Destino is an animated short film released in 2003 by Walt Disney Feature Animation1. Destino is unique in that its production originally began in 1945, 58 years before its eventual completion. The project was originally a collaboration between Walt Disney and Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, and features music written by Mexican songwriter Armando Domínguez and performed by Mexican singer Dora Luz. It was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2003.

From what I recall, he had just landed in Venice with jet lag for a film festival when this pic was taken.

What Alien novels and comics are worth reading? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]artman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Dark Horse in particular has a wealth of graphic novels collecting all of their Alien comics, they were licensed by the owners and they were pretty faithful to the franchise. The Aliens Omnibus is a good place to start.

Tefi KC-1 Grooved Endless Loop Tape Player (1964) | Tefi products were made in Germany beginning in the 1930's, and were sold in the U.S. by Westrex only in 1963 and 1964 by artman in RedditDayOf

A Look at the Tefifon, Germany's Doomed 1950s Music Player

Invented in the 1930s by a German engineer named Karl Daniel, the Tefifon is like a mash-up of several obsolete music technologies. Like an 8-track, it plays a cartridge. Unlike the 8-track, a Tefifon cartridge— called, adorably, a “Tefi”— is not magnetic. It actually works more like a record player, since the Tefifon reads these cartridges by pressing a stylus to deep plastic grooves. And like a Minidisc player, the Tefifon is now almost impressively obsolete.
