Love In The Groovy Age

Still quite distracted, and looks like things will be keyed up for the next couple of weeks yet. Apologies for the erratic schedule on the postings, and it's going to be quite minimal today.

Just a quick observation: Love & lust could be pretty strange back in the ol' Groovy Age...

Swing With Scooter starts to take on a weird different meaning...

Shades Of Groovy

Say you're a comic book editor in the Groovy Age trying to capture the times with a hero who personifies the cultural essence. You spend time with your trusted creators and decide that the way to go is a boy with his bike and guitar - perfect for the era, right?

But you're still left with something of a dilemma - tone and handling. Do you go light & swinging, or heavy and questing?

Or do you do both?

Yeah, both.
That seems easier.
