An excerpt from one of the lesson plans I was working on today:

“The hero is a definite figure in all of our lives. We identify the hero in order to set a standard for which we wish to measure ourselves by. This could be my Grandfather, Martin Luther King Jr, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All of which are Heroes. Acknowledging and understanding why we have selected our Heroes and what that says about who we are and what we value as right and wrong is a basic function of human life.’

‘In correlation to the topic of Hero dissection and identification, it can also draw on the logic that these tools which we easily can dissect the role of our own personal heroes, we may also use to examine the role of heroes in another’s estimation. Superman and his ability to fuse science and mythology started a popularization that has yet to cease within popular culture. Why? What is the draw to the American Superhero? Why is it that the American Superhero was part of a sub-culture, or cult following, for almost 60 years and then followed by an explosion over the past few years of the superhero fanaticism in popular movie and television culture? Why now? How did we go from a society that would burn comic books identifying them as evil to a society that recognizes the superhero as a valuable form of measurement in the battle of right and wrong?”

I found this awesome blog that has a ton of history and research directly discussing the craft in which I have always been forthcoming with my love for COMIC BOOKS. So check it out at :

I need to briefly vent because I am very tired and hate weather. Thats right weather. When it is grey outside I am grey inside. (No I did not say that, my alter-ego EMO-PAT briefly reared his tear stained head.) But seriously come on summer make up your mind. I am SO stressed but I know I will be able to make it.

I’ve got a question to throw to the bloggerspace dimension of the world-wide-web: How do I generate an audience? Anyone who answers this seemingly simple question will be judged. Based upon my arbitrary judgment I will deem some lucky responder worthy of a prize. (Also some sort of prize should and may be awarded to the first person to ever comment on the Headgraphics.net Blog)
