Summer starts edition

 

It's summer in the world of the Pan Cultural Nekomini so you might well be about seeing places and things you've not seen before or engaging with people, buying little souvenirs  for people or engaging in your passion for post cards which is something I did from an early age.

I find the messages on those sent most interesting.

Ahead of it's time like so many of the classic stories from the likes of Jinty which were equal of the very best boys comics, The Best of Cat Girl is a classic tail (or should that be tale?) from the late 1960's  reprinted superhero series originally in the Sally comic just for catgirls like me, getting on the case.

You see Cathy Carter is not your average teen. She can jump further, fight longer and climb higher than anyone she knows - with the aid of a magic suit, she is Cat Girl! Facing off in glamorous, globetrotting adventures against supervillains and master criminals, Cathy often finds the hardest fight comes from her bumbling detective father, who doesn't believe Cathy can fend for herself.

It was rebooted for the 2020 Jinty&Misty Summer special in modern full colour for one whole strip and that's reprinted in here although yes I did buy that summer special.

I just have different take on girl than some but it's still a take just the same.

It's the uncoolest thing to admit, worse than saying you loved Abba in the mid 80's but I grew up listening to country music (Britishers habitually add the & Western bit) an Hank Williams was on those artists I listened to.

This recent set has all the major songs enhanced by the wonders of modern technology and made into highly convincing stereo versions rather than those reverb heavy where not redubbed after the event attempts to modernize the sound.

It just sounds fine with the enhancements in regular cd playing here.
