So I headed back to my apartment, where I dashed off e-mails to many, many people I know, telling them that I might be on television that very night. The interview itself went quite well, and I was told afterwards that the segment on Bugs's "Extreme Makeover" would run that very night on The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. ![]() (See "Comics in Context" #71: "Comics' Other Golden Age".) I drop everything and head in, emerging from the subway into a torrential rainstorm well, at least I got a nice look at Christo's The Gates, his temporary art installation in Central Park, as I rushed under my umbrella along the southern edge of the park on my way to CBS, arriving around 3:30 PM. Wow! What an opportunity to appear before an audience far greater than anything I've ever done before has had! (And yes, ironically, it would be for CBS News, which had so grievously erred in deeming Stan Lee the sole "creator" of the classic Marvel characters two weeks before on the Wednesday edition of 60 Minutes. So, at about 2 PM a CBS News staffer phones me and asks if I can come to the CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan to be interviewed on camera. CBS News had contacted MoCCA to find someone to interview about the "makeover," and Jim nominated me. The promotional pictures of the futuristic, manga-style Bugs made him look grim, gritty and ghastly. That day The Wall Street Journal had broken the story of how Warner Brothers was readying a new animated science fiction series for the WB Network, Loonatix, featuring "reimagined" versions of Bugs Bunny and other classic Looney Tunes characters. Jim Salicrup (the editor behind Papercutz' new, praiseworthy comics revivals of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, which demonstrate how updating classic characters can be done right), asked me on behalf of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art to get in contact with a reporter from CBS News. None!?! Not even sweeping up!?Īh, but now came an unexpected miracle. This electronic form letter claimed that it found my resume "interesting" (three Ivy League degrees, published books, and teaching at NYU? I should think so!) but that there was no job in the vast Bertlesmann empire that I was suited for. ![]() Was it the fault of Verizon? AOL? Or was it the computer I'm now using after my old one went into what may be terminal malfunction mode last month? Then there was the e-mail response to my recent job application to Random House, which is owned by the German media giant Bertelsmann. After dunning New York University to pay me for teaching my course in "Comics as Literature" there last fall, I discovered I was the victim of a bureaucratic screwup, whereby I was not officially appointed to teach there until January – a month after the semester ended! Having finally settled that problem, I now faced a new battle with technology: suddenly I couldn't seem to stay online for more than ten minutes at a time. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name. ![]()
