I also admit there were days when I spent more time drawing in my notebooks than taking notes. And nowadays, as I sit watching telly, I'm mostly doing it to sip scotch and suck on a cig.......I guess I'm old school that way.<br /><br />The Prowler (Those were the days of our lives the bad things in life were so few those days are all gone now but one thing is true - When I look and I find I still love you.

I mean, my father sometimes smoked a pipe and he was 49 which was ANCIENT !!! - I'll be 49 next February but these days 49 is the new 20 :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-30620570198421743362014-11-29T22:26:12.561-05:002014-11-29T22:26:12.561-05:00Sheesh, I mean the series was set in the clunky go...Sheesh, I mean the series was set in the clunky gold armor days.

Black Widow smoked using a cigarette holder when she was an unreconstructed Commie spy. Of course, Ben Grimm and Nick Fury loved their stogies. I seem to remember Michelinie and Layton did a retrospective mini-series of Iron Man in the clunky gold armor, lighting up a Turkish cigarette, having a bad reaction and deciding he'd have to give them up for the sake of his heart.George Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837115563034614545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-63531051810105664632014-11-29T21:27:40.991-05:002014-11-29T21:27:40.991-05:00The Marvel Universe back then was chock full of sm...The Marvel Universe back then was chock full of smokers - many was the panel Jack Kirby drew of heroes and (mainly) villains using the Zippo to light one up.<br /><br />(of course, I could be misremembering all of this)B Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618583443442543086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-530509938524450212014-11-29T19:24:30.882-05:002014-11-29T19:24:30.882-05:00I think I've seen Tony smokin' a cig more ...I think I've seen Tony smokin' a cig more than once.<br />Probably not a good thing to do if you got a problem with your ticker, but probably not as hard on ya as suckin' down a bottle of scotch, which he later known to do. mpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-48664595879828666022014-11-29T15:24:31.906-05:002014-11-29T15:24:31.906-05:00dangermash, that sounds like a good subject for an...dangermash, that sounds like a good subject for another trivia question!
