Mark, I'm headed to Austin this weekend. Would love to get some "Mark Starlin for Prez." bumper stickers into all the truck stops along the way. With all the storms we're having, they'll match up nicely with your rain ponchos.

🤣 Presidential Rain Ponchos, that is.

Perhaps I should hire you to seathly place Starlin/Adams bumper stikers on every car you see. I know I vote based on bumper stickers. 🤣

How about super-fast package delivery, Mark? Everybody wants that. Hey, do the votes of those with superpower count more than regular voters? Are they supervotes? I had fun reading this one. Thanks.

Nope. One vote per citizen. Super or non.

Imagine if they got together and started a shipping company, then cut a deal with Amazon to deliver packages? Cha Ching! 💵 💵 💵

Thanks, K.C.

Well-considered advice, Mark, but I don't think I will be inviting any egotist, cape-wearing men over to my house for coffee a chat any time soon. It didn't go so well last time. I believe it was 1982.

I think it is the tights that makes them act so weird. 🤣

Missive from The International League of Girls With Guns (muscles, not firearms):

Dear Mr. Starlin-

We and our fellow superheroes are non-profit entities, so we are offended by your ploy of treating us like common laborers. Besides, for various reasons, some of us are incapable of voting....

Dear ILGWG;

I think you misunderstood. These jobs will come with super pay and benefits. And the admiration of your local community. Poeple will love you instead of fear you.

They're not all the same- I know this for a fact. And trying to court their vote won't work- they've heard a lot of those lines before...

"Hulk no believe you. Smash you now." 🤣

I think you meant "We're not all the same..." You don't need to hide your superpowers from me. I have some trees that need pulling.

Sadly, I must confess that I have not. I am SO behind on my Substack reading. But I plan to rectify that this summer.
