During a newspaper delivery strike in 1945, NYC mayor Fiorello LaGuardia took to the airwaves to read the comics to listeners who were deprived of comics pages. He did this 3 times: July 1, 8, and 15. Here, you can hear recordings of the mayor reenacting the comics: www.archives.nyc/blog/2025/10...

Yestarë, meaning "First-day", was the name used in the Elves' calendars, and those derived from them, for the first day of the year. In the Reckoning of Rivendell, this was the first day of spring (around March 19th in Shire Reckoning). For the calendars of Gondor, it was celebrated in winter.
Comic book artist Frazer Irving is having a tough time. He’s asking people to help by making a purchase from his shop. It’s gorgeous stuff! I see original pages from Klarion the Witch Boy that are far too cheap… frazerirving.bigcartel.com

Robert Silverberg sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/silver... was born on this day, so here are covers to those of his books whose original editions were first published 1957-1958 (artist: Ferruccio Alessandri, Ed Valigursky, Don Crowley and Ed Emshwiller):
As the Company passes Durin’s Stone, Gimli leads Frodo off the trail to see the Mirrormere. Though the early afternoon sky is blue, the pool is dark and reflects the stars. Wheeling above the reflected mountain peaks are the seven stars of the Crown of Durin.
A search has turned up the remains of a book. Gandalf reads aloud. They learn this is the Chamber of Mazarbul, where Balin’s dwarves made their last stand. It ends: ‘The Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes. Drums, drums in the deep. THEY ARE COMING.’
Moria begins to echo with a series of rolling booms, like a vast drum. The Company hears Orcs running towards the chamber. They draw their weapons. Aragorn wants to bar both doors but Gandalf insists they leave the east door open, in case they can escape that way.
The chamber door is breached and the Company fights two short battles before they can flee. Orcs are felled by Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, and even Sam—but an orc-chieftain drives through them and pins Frodo with a spear. Frodo survives thanks to his secret mithril-coat.
Gandalf stays behind to lock the chamber door with a spell. He is nearly broken when a Balrog of Morgoth opposes him from the other side of the door. Gandalf speaks a word of Command. The door shatters, the wall collapses, and the chamber ceiling buries his opponent in rubble.
The rest of the Company wake. Gandalf has decided that they should take the right passage, which he hopes will climb east towards the main halls of Moria. They set out behind the dim light of Gandalf’s staff for a second long march through the dark.
