Oil on canvas, from what I recall.

She did a few paintings of jam/jelly jars. I believe this one is her best known of them.

The time he saw a big fly

Someone in the comments figured out that it's auto-captioning mangling the lyrics to the Tom Robinson Band's "Glad to Be Gay"

(Which I assume must have been playing over the PA or something?)

I have good news for you

The design is, all things considered, the easy bit.

Building it — the machining & tolerances necessary, the amount of controlled material you have to acquire — is the hard part.

It helps if you have physics knowledge, but the basic principles behind it have not been secret for ages.

And there have been multiple cases going back decades of people designing bombs from unclassified information & first principles, largely just to prove that it's possible.

Now that I think of it, I've probably read a bunch of SW2 tie-ins. They were extremely common in yard sale piles circa 1988 or so.

Why Molecule Man, Jim Shooter? Why?

Oh, yes, Beyonder. This is much less complicated & messy than doing it the old fashioned way.

I remember greatly enjoying the Namor & Hercules squabbling.

And the brief reference to "the first Secret Wars" left me with an idea of that series that was very different from what it actually was when I finally read it.

This was the first Avengers comic I ever read.

I have nothing further to add to that other than being very confused as to what was going on.

I'd just like to note that the Comics Code Authority in 1983 was less uptight about language than a modern Tom King "mature readers" book.

I recall seeing a picture of a store that bundled 13 copies together for 100 yen and labeled it "Golf-o 13".

In the end, I found this copy in the junk bins of a Naha GEO for the princely sum of ¥100.

Which also helps explain why it's so grungy looking.

Of the pulse line games I own, this was the hardest to acquire.

Not because it's rare or expensive. But because it's just the opposite.

Buying it individually will cost you several times the cartridge cost in service fees & shipping. And it tends to get bundled in lots with other similar games.

Hopefully that's just a temporary schedule & they improve it after. Ending at 10PM is not exactly convenient compared to any other route.

Hmm. Technically a split. But it feels like you need someone more high-profile to lead one for it to really count.
