Dr. Donald Blake, Revisited
Back when I was posting the Top Ten Comic Book Doctors, I listed Donald Blake at #4. I had in mind a perfect scene from Thor to illustrate the point, but I wasn’t able to scan it in at that time and had to settle for a semi-lame cover just showing Blake.
Two months later I’ve finally had a chance to scan the scene in, so here it is in all its four-color glory:

From Thor #143, words by Lee, art by Kirby (scanned from Origins of Marvel Comics).

Glad you’re back. You were having technical problems last night, it appears, and I received this message:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I’ve seen that before as well (and it always gives me a case of the cold sweats!) It seems to mean that there’s something screwy with the hosting company, and not my site per se. The server I’m on seems to have more down time than the rest…

I don’t know. Maybe it’s the Jack “Young Romance” Kirby art talking, but Dr. Blake seems to *really* enjoy “helping his fellow man”.
(”Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”)
