Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row.

themarvelageofcomics:

The original unaltered version of this page from NICK FURY, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. by Jim Steranko. The Comics Code mandated a number of changes in the published page.

One of the changes is they replaced I think the last panel with a shot of Fury’s gun, which Steranko said was a way more explicitly phallic image than anything he originally had on the page.

'Expert' witness in local fire started by businesses owner

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:39:22 -0400

“I suggest you are dreaming in Technicolor if you think you can determine the origin of an explosion simply by picking and choosing photographs and witness statements,” suggested Crown Ann Tierney.
“That’s your opinion,” shot back Merkley, who often shuffled in his seat and spoke with his chin resting in his hand with his fingers covering his mouth so that some of his words were often muffled.
“You just picked the photographs and statements that you wanted and ignored all of the others, isn’t that right?” asked Tierney.
“No, I didn’t,” replied Merkley, rolling his eyes.
(…)
The Crown then asked Merkley how he might explain several samples of gasoline that were found under tons of burned rubble in the basement of the Riviera. Merkley answered it could have been from the water in Kempenfelt Bay that firefighters drew to refill their pump trucks to extinguish the giant fire.
“There could have been gasoline in that water,” said Merkley.
“Are you aware that gasoline is not soluble and floats on the top of water and fire trucks are equipped with special hoses that take water from at least two feet under the surface?” pointed out the Crown.
“I know how it’s done,” answered Merkley in a curt voice.
“Are you suggesting sir, that fire fighters poured gasoline over this fire and somehow it trickled through millions of gallons of water and tons and tons of debris to makes its way to the basement floor of the Riviera?”
“It’s possible,” said Merkley, adding the gasoline could have also made its way from one of several upstairs apartments which where burned to rubble.

"We’ve done all the Disney theme parks, and as much as I’m perfectly happy to do everything again,..."

“

We’ve done all the Disney theme parks, and as much as I’m perfectly happy to do everything again, there’s A) the law of diminishing returns, and B) the fact that Daughter is 12 now, and in between the last time we were here in 2010 and today, she outgrew the joint. Heresy! you say. No one outgrows it.

Well, I don’t, because I’m not here to squeal GOOFY! or wear Mouse Ears while gobbling a Mickey ice-cream bar before begging for a plushie or something that lights up and spins around. But it’s entirely possible that there’s a brief period of Estrangement, between 12 and 15, when you’re caught between two perspectives, and the fact that you’re locked out of your childhood reactions while keenly aware of the memory of your younger self is something quite sad. Maybe you realize that every new phase of your life means a place that was comfortable and secure and happy and familiar is now boxed up and locked away, and there’s no key. You can turn the knob but it does not yield.

It’s like walking through a lovely forest, and then you come into a clearing and then there’s the ocean crashing on the rocks, cold and indifferent, and when you turn around to go back there’s a sheer wall of stone. And while the walk through the forest taught you all the good things you needed to know to set forth across the water, it’s almost unbearable to know your childhood - the true happy heedless part - is not only good for good, but close enough to remember with a clarity that makes you ache.
