The Clock is Ticking, and Doomsday is Upon Us – Wednesday, May 14th, 2025

Or is it Dumbsday? America’s collective IQ has dropped back down to the level it was 200,000 years ago, when Uggh burned his hand holding on to a burning stick to long. The rest of the developed world is horrified by our free-fall decline in the last 3 months.

5/21/25: Speaking of dumb, did anyone notice there was no list and no pictures here on the 14th? I must have dreamed I did all that. But I caught it this morning, so now I’m fixing it – just in time!

Since my optimistic folly last week, Dubs have lost 3 in a row, and Steph is doubtful for the away Game 5 at Target tonight. Boy, Denver and OKC are talented, and either might be my pick over the Wolves, should THAT countdown end tonight. Indiana and NY are equally impressive. The next level of quarterfinals should be exciting.

The title of Marvel’s One World Under Doom is very apt, even if the plot is unrelated – all you have to do is replace “om” by “n”.  Or “rmammu” by “n”. It’s hard to choose the hero, but, really, is it? If you can’t figure out which is the greater danger, you may not be fit for survival.

Big week with lots to read and enjoy. Do that while you can.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets.
