You can read Kiefer Sutherland’s tribute to his father right here at People magazine.
If you’re a nerd like me, then you remember the priceless actor from roles in movies like “Murder By Decree” (1979) and “The Puppet Masters” (1994). But nothing can beat his memorable turn in 1978’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”
Rest in peace, thespian.

I haven’t thought about these candy bars in over 40 years. Then my friend (and famed journalist) Jason Brooks shared this meme on Facebook.
These were sooooo good. And they were such a pain in the ass when you were asked by your school to sell them. (I was assigned the task along with all my classmates in Catholic grade school in … 1981? 1982?) As an adult today (arguably), it strikes me as a little odd, because my parents were paying tuition for me to go there. I also question the prudence of sending a young child to sell candy door-to-door.
I even remember that weird white box that they came in. I also seem to remember there being a contest or something if you sold a high number of these. And there were a couple of kids who sold like a dozen boxes or so. The scuttlebutt around school was that their parents worked in large offices and sold them on their kids’ behalf.
Anyway, World’s Finest Chocolate is still around. (And my astute fellow comic book fans will know that they should not be confused with {World’s Finest Comics. )
DC Comics.
They were both lovers of stories and poems too.
No, I am not the baby pictured — that was my cousin Kevin.
Oil.
… but I do love this parable.
Oil on canvas.
I’m thrilled today to see Spillwords Press publish my poem “The Writer.” You can find the piece right here.
Thanks once again to Chief Editor Dagmara K. for allowing me to be a part of the Spillwords Press creative community!
DC Comics. There have been several trade paperback editions of this limited series, including one in 1998 that looks quite similar to the 2011 edition. My apologies in advance of I have cited the wrong year above.
