Hmm. With one monthly mini-series, one bi-weekly series, and one ongoing series, you probably wouldn't expect to find many weeks in a month with no Booster Gold appearances. But that's what you've got today.

So instead of spending time inside reading comic books, maybe you could go outside and enjoy some pleasant autumn weather. Go fly a kite. Play some football. Chase squirrels. Whatever takes your mind off the gaping hole in your soul that only a Booster Gold comic book can fill.

Booster Gold: it's not an addiction, it's a lifestyle.

The long awaited, Booster Gold-including DC Universe Online is being pushed back to a 2011 release. ComicsAlliance.com has the press release, which indicates that the game's release was pushed back for quality assurance reasons. I assume that in this day and age where games are released with complementary bugs that require extensive patching, quality assurance means that they want the game to be bootable, if not actually playable.

Charles Shulz's Peanuts strip turned 60 on Saturday. So, for the second post in a row, I've missed a significant cartoon milestone. Really, somebody ought to tell me these things ahead of time.

I was aware that October 2 was the day that Rock Hudson died. That was the lead story on history.com, which let me down by making no mention of Peanuts. I'm not going to judge which event was more significant -- the initial publication of one of the most popular comic strips in the world or the death of a Hollywood star to a pariah's disease -- but I would think that they both deserve a place in the history books. Or at least the history websites.

By the way, Charlie Brown was four-years-old in his earliest appearances. If he aged like a normal person, he'd be eligible for retirement next year. After 60 years of being so consistently entertaining, you'd think that would be something he'd be looking forward to.

The Flintstones turned 50 years old yesterday. If I'd been on the ball, I would have posted this yesterday. But I've been busy. (Ahh, to be able to travel back in time to avoid my mistakes...)

The above image, by Bill Walko of the invaluable titanstower.com, can be seen at its full size on cbr.com. In the background of the image are lyrics to the song "The Bedrock Twitch" as performed by Rock Roll in the season 3 episode "The Twitch." If you're in a celebratory mood, you can listen to the song here on youtube.com and dance along with Booster and Pebbles.

Continuing the theme from Monday -- Booster Gold vs. The Marvel Universe -- head over to Comix Connection to tell them that Booster Gold would easily defeat Moon Knight in combat. Because he would. You know it and I know it. So make sure that everyone else knows it, too.
