The Fargo Rubber Stamp Company has suggested that the college elimin­ ate the ring tradition and start an­ other tradition which would be more feasable due to lower costs. The sug­ gestions have been for class sweat shirts, class buttons, and class stamps. The sweatshirts would be made according to a design voted upon by the senior class. They would be more practical for the climate as they cover considerably more skin area than does the present class ring. The class button would be the same size as the homecoming button and again the design would be voted on by the senior class. The buttons would cost only a quarter and would be within the price range of nearly every student. The class stamp would cost a little more as compared to the class button. The stamp would have the letters on it backwards so that when one would stamp his forehead others could read his name. This would be very handy at class reunions and conventions, not to mention the Alumni Association get togethers. Fargo Stamp Company also made a price bid on the whole lot so that SS President Rikki Smallacre: "And in my new office pro- a student could get all three if he mise to keep both eyes wide open at all times . wanted to. and both feet firmly on the ground.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

It would not have been possible without the generous assistance of the libraries and archives I visited, in both the United States and the United Kingdom. However, without the support of the history department and Florida State University, I would not have been able to complete the project. My advisor, Charles Upchurch encouraged me to broaden my understanding of the British Empire, which led to my decision to study Charles Gordon. Dr. Upchurch‘s constant urging for me to push my writing and theoretical understanding of imperialism further, led to a much stronger dissertation than I could have ever produced on my own.

  • Misfit (DC Comics)
    Misfit (DC Comics) Misfit's writer Gail Simone later revealed that she had wanted to explore Misfit's real origin, but was unable to do so before DC Comics rebooted their comics and started the New 52 series. Simone explained a in a short interview that Misfit was actually born on Gemworld and had been a princess of the Ruby House. She was sent to Earth to hide after her real family was murdered. Although her memory was erased, she retained her power to 'bounce' (teleport) as well as her fighting skills. Creation. Misfit (Charlotte "Charlie" Gage-Radcliffe) is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. She first appeared in Birds of Prey #96 (September 2006) as a wannabe Batgirl, before taking on her own identity as Misfit. Misfit debuts as a shadowy figure, wearing a homemade variation of Barbara Gordon's classic Batgirl costume, accurate enough to be mistaken for the original article at night. She seems to have some proficiency with martial arts and Batarangs, as she's able to save a couple from muggers Misfit - DC Comics - Birds of Prey - Gail Simone - Charlie 500 x 1288 jpeg 115kB. en.m.wikipedia.org.

  • Batman Saves the Congo
    INTRODUCTION Batman Saves the Congo . Development aid is not what it used to be with [donor] agencies . doing most of the work— it’s now all about collaborations between the private sector, businesses and philanthropists. — Official in a high- ranking donor agency in Kinshasa, interview with author, June 15, 2016 Batman Saves the Congo On March 26, 2015, Ben Affleck, the star of the recent movieBatman, arrived at the U.S. Capitol flanked by a new Robin, the founder of Microsoft and prominent philanthropist Bill Gates. In their appear- ance before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, For- eign Operations, and Related Programs, Affleck and Gates sat together at a table of witnesses that also included senior Congo experts (see Figure 1). But the attention of the media and senators was focused on the celebrities. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut tweeted his photo of the event: “Batman testifying before Appropriations hear- ing on importance of foreign aid (oh, and @BillGates is here too).”1 Gates was already a well- known disruptor, having changed how we think about information technology by revolutionizing the per- sonal computer. He has since moved on to education and global health at the helm of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, credited with making charity big business (McGoey 2016). Affleck delivered his testimony with self- deprecation, inside jokes, and even a spoiler • ix x • Introduction concerning his then upcoming Batman movie.

  • Bodies in Transition. Queering the Comic Book Superhero
    QUEER(ING) POPULAR CULTURE BODIES IN TRANSITION Queering the Comic Book Superhero BY DANIEL STEIN ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the comic book superhero as a popular figure whose queer- ness follows as much from the logic of the comics medium and the aesthetic prin- ciples of the genre as it does from a dialectic tension between historically evolving heteronormative and queer readings. Focusing specifically on the superbody as an overdetermined site of gendered significances, the essay traces a shift from the ostensibly straight iterations in the early years of the genre to the more recent appearance of openly queer characters. It further suggests that the struggle over the superbody’s sexual orientation and gender identity has been an essential force in the development of the genre from its inception until the present day. The comic book superhero has been a figure of the popular imagination for eight decades, if we count Superman’s appearance in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) as the beginning of the genre. Almost as old as the genre itself are associations of the superhero with what the American amateur psychologist Gershon Legman de- scribed as »an undercurrent of homosexuality and sado-masochism«1 in his book Love and Death (1949). These associations became part of the broader public dis- course when the German-born psychiatrist Frederic Wertham expanded on them in Seduction of the Innocent (1954), a flawed but popular study of the effects of comic-book reading on juveniles that played into the climate of sexual anxieties at the height of the so-called comics scare.

  • Travels with Batman: Teotihuacan, 1961
    Travels With Batman: Teotihuacan, 1961 by Richard A. Diehl Originally publishd in Arqueología Mesoamericana: Homenaje a William T. Sanders, Vol 1, edited by Alba Guadalupe Mastache, Jeffrey R. Parsons, Robert S. Santley, and Mari Carmen Serra Puche. Pages 41-56, Intsituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Mexico, 1996. Author’s note to the on-line version: The manuscript for this essay was originally written in 1986. The on-line version includes illustrations that were not in the published paper. RAD May 29, 2007 Introduction How does one honor his former professor and close friend when writing an essay for a Festschrift? After pondering this question for a long time, I narrowed the choices down to two possible approaches. The first was to write a scholarly article on a reseach topic I have pursued since leaving Bill's academic nest in the late 1960's. Ideally this article would contain a significant advance in Mesoamerican archaeology and would allow Bill to bask in the reflected glory of his former student. Alternatively, I can write a more personal essay dealing with reminiscences of times and situations that involved the two of us. I decided to follow the second approach out of both necessity and desire. Necessity because I started at least six scholarly papers but was not satisfied with any of them. If I wrote a scholarly paper I would want it to one of my best and frankly none of these showed that kind of promise. Sometime in the future I will write a paper which pleases me so much that I will say " Hey kid, this is it! This is the paper you want to dedicate to Bill." Then I will dedicate it to him.
