In a class this morning I referenced The Godfather, and one of my students asked, “What’s The Godfather?” Not a single student in class had heard of it.
In my next class, out of curiosity I asked if students had heard of it, and I’m thankful to report that the first class is a statistical anomaly.

Keith Giffen is one of the masterminds behind my favorite JL era, made me fall in love with the Legion of Superheroes, and was one of the great writer-artists. Between losing him and Romita this year, and Perez and Adams last year, it's been a one-two (and three-four) gut-punch of comic book losses.

A student today asked me for basic tips on "how to get the writing done." I gave them some of my usual suggestions, but I'm wondering what you all think/do. What tips do you share with students about how to go from blank pages to full fledged papers?
