It’s been a long time since I updated this.

I got to meet Irwin Hasen in 2006 at Hero Con, really nice guy.  Had some great stories, and was friendly as anything

Long Missing Spook Returns to Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion after 46 Years | Nerdist

If you're a Disneyland aficionado, the animatronic character known as the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion attraction has long been the stuff of urban legend. A creepy spirit whose head vanishes from his neck and then suddenly appears in a hatbox that he's holding, the character has shown up on tons of officially licensed merchandise for the Mansion since the attraction opened up way back in August of 1969, despite the character not actually being in the ride itself. For years, park guests from back in the day swore they saw old 'hatty in the ride, even though Disney's official word on the Hatbox Ghost has always been that he never actually appeared in the Mansion, due to the effects not working properly. However, it was recently discovered that the character was indeed one of the 999 Happy Haunts, thanks to some digging done from a hardcore Haunted Mansion fan, but only for a few days. But now as part of Disneyland's 60th Anniversary celebration this year, the Disney Imagineers

One day, I will make it to Disneyland

Luke Cage was created in 1972. Four years earlier, in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. Five years before that, in 1963, Medgar Evers was shot and killed. Eight years before that, in 1955, a young Black man named Emmett Till was tortured, then shot and killed. These events, and numerous others with frightening similarity, happened in a line, and in the early years of the first decade to reap the social benefits of the Civil Rights Movement, Marvel Comics gives the fans (and the world) a Black male superhero whose primary superhuman aspect… is that he’s bulletproof. Not flight, or super speed, or a power ring. The superhuman ability of being impervious to bullets. Superheroes. Action heroes. Fantasy heroes. Power fantasies. Is there any doubt the power fantasy of the Black man in the years following multiple assassinations of his leaders and children by way of the gun would be superhuman resistance to bullets? In American society, the Black man has come a long way from the terrors of the past handful of centuries, only to crash right into the terrors of the 21st century. Some of those terrors being the same exact ones their grandparents had to face and survive — or not. There are Black men who are wealthy, powerful, formidable and/or dangerous. They can affect change undreamt of by their parents, and their parents’ parents. Their children will be able to change the world in ways we can intuit and others we can barely begin to try and predict. But a bullet can rip through their flesh and their future with no effort whatsoever. And so we look at Luke Cage, a man who gets shot on a regular basis, whose body language is such that he is expecting to be shot at, prepared for the impact — because he knows he can take it. And maybe, in the subconscious of the uni-mind of Marvel Comics, is the understanding that Luke Cage may unfortunately always be a relevant fantasy idea for the Black man. 2012 – Trayvon Martin is shot and killed. 2013 – Jonathan Ferrell is shot and killed. 2014 – Michael Brown is shot and killed. 2015/2016 – Luke Cage premieres on Netflix. I look forward to seeing if the Luke Cage of that show will have a true understanding of his power and what he symbolizes.

Reading that was like getting kicked in the gut. And yet it feels like that’s not enough.
