Why Not Say What Happened? Episode 37: Why I’m Considering Calling Jack Kirby’s Old Phone Number

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  Why Not Say What Happened    Posted date:  November 14, 2026  |  No comment


Another rambling nostalgic episode reveals a lesson I learned from the composer of the Merry Marvel Marching Society theme song, what should get the blame for me talking so much about comics these days, why Nick Cardy, Jim Steranko, and Stan Lee popped up in my dreams, why I’m considering calling Jack Kirby’s old phone number, the Bernie Wrightson sketch I regret having traded away, what I’ll never remember about Dave Cockrum, the reason my relationship with Tony DeZuniga teaches you not to trust AI, and more.
