Latest on Cedar and Willow, continuing the reinterpretation of the superheroine Power Girl as being a few decades older than she admits to:

    It turns out that Power Girl was a Professor of Physics at MIT, a mechanical and electrical Engineer, and a technician-troubleshooter, all a decade before coming into the public eye as a Superheroine (using a technological device, it turns out).Those are some admirable credentials but all that does take some time to accomplish. DC comics really should emphasize that and say "Wow, this woman is a genius-and now she heads up her own computer software firm besides" rather more than saying "she wears a costume that shows some cleavage, woo woo"

    Incidentally I am the one that originated the drawing of seams on Power Girl's costume, but I don't know how that particular stylization got back from the Joe Kubert school in 1986 to DC comics after 1990. One of my classmates no doubt passed the idea along.

    Best Wishes, Dale D.
