It might seem like a small milestone (especially compared to some of my fellow comics geeks who have been blogging for years already), but this is the 10oth entry here on Great Caesar's Post and I'm pretty happy about it! Gee, I wish I could get some help commemorating ...
Wow, thanks Showcase heroes! You're right - that is awesome! And while I feel as if I'm still working the kinks out of it, I hope people have enjoyed reading the Post as much as I've enjoyed putting it together. And what exactly have I put together? Let's warm up our Time Spheres and take a look!
- Awww, look at that ... my very first post.
- Once upon a time I did a regular feature called "Favorite Panel Friday;" this particular panel still cracks me up.
- Speaking of Favorite Panel Friday, there was a period where I wasn't updating much due to work and FPF was the only posting I seemed to be doing. Of course, I did find time somehow to play Boneless Spidey. A lot. I blame the Ram Jam soundtrack.
- It's adorable when The Thing cries. Plus, in the comments I confess to my dark secret of not having seen many recent comic book movies.
- There are questions about Captain Marvel that need to be answered, not least of which are about the more twisted branches of the Marvel family tree. Also, a dig at the pride of Pennsylvania.
- I finally got a scanner.
- The crazy thing about Jay J. Armes is that if someone ever did make a comic based on his life, people wouldn't think it was believable. Believe it.
- I get into a fight.
- When is it time to drop your comic shop? Is it enough that the shop is a little loose with its discounts, even when it keeps doing you wrong?
- And speaking of the direct market, how do we bring older, non-comic readers into the medium and then keep them there? What's the best way to introduce comics to people who think it's just kids' stuff?
- A regular feature on Bob Kanigher's crazy-ass dinosaurs and soldiers mash-up makes its first appearance. There's also a lame explanation of why the title is "W.T.F" (periods) instead of the usual "WTF" (no periods).
- Sometimes I watch TV.
Finally, we're caught up to our current timeline! Some recent highlights have included the questionable need for Dazzler, the trouble Blue Beetle gives those unfamiliar with the EspaƱol, and lots of other unsolicitated opinions.
Thanks again for reading, and don't be shy about leaving your comments; it really does mean a lot to me, and I enjoy hearing what you have to say.
One more thing: DAZZLER?!?

A little late, but congratulations! I'm also with you on the Metal Men / G.I. Robot link.
Thanks for the comment and the kind words! And yeah, between Kanigher, Otto Binder and Bob Haney, I'm beginning to think the guys at DC were just trying to top each other with the craziest shit they could come up with.
If Joe the G.I. Robot shows up in the new run of Metal Men, I will. FREAK. OUT.
