Another great episode. The weird thing about Dazzler was she was all about disco, but she made her debut in 1980, after disco was pretty much dead.

I'm surprised Death got so many positive comments and we even got a discussion of high heels vs bones; I can't settle that one, but I'm thinking Death wouldn't need special shoes to tap dance.

I figured there'd be some mention of the Sandman version of Death. So, who looks exactly like her? Amelie? Maybe she IS Death ... does she say "Be seeing you" whenever she leaves ...?

I was sleepy, about to drive home, and looking for something to keep me awake when I saw that I had a new episode of OHOTMU or Not. Oh, happy day! Who knows how many lives you all saved?

This was another great episode. Like MST3K, much depends on the material you’re working with, and these four were interesting, diverse characters portrayed through great art. Also all hot, I think.

I was surprised you (and the OHOTMU editors before you) only showed the girls the bony version of Death. She would sometimes appear to Thanos in a more conventionally beautiful form, wearing the same fetching purple cloak. Wouldn’t have changed the voting, of course.
