Agent Palmer

There was a huge outpouring of emotion and public morning in the wake of the loss of Robin Williams. Of course, there is good reason for this. The man had over 100 acting credits to his name in a career spanning over four decades, which included everything for everyone, literally.

Children’s movies and cartoons, off-color comedies, thrillers, general comedies, dramas and more. If it existed, he went after it. I’m sure he turned down roles, but you’d never know it looking through his IMDb.

Germany stands atop the game of football (or futbol or even soccer, depending on your country of origin) as the 2014 World Cup Champions. This isn’t a shock as they’ve been here before – three times, in fact – making this their fourth World Cup.

This makes them a powerhouse in their sport, but it was how they managed to get to World Cup Championship No. 4 that makes this impressive.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending The Great Allentown Comic Con Summer Show at Merchants Square Mall. As usual, it was filled with vendors of comic books and other pop culture paraphernalia, artists and other vendors, as well as, my fellow attendees, those in cosplay and those who just showed up with their geek on their sleeve.

I have said before and I’ll say it again, The Great Allentown Comic Con is getting too big for itself. This is not a complaint, more of an observation, and a good problem for the organizers to have at that.
