The emergence of "History Woman" (see the post below this one) reminds me that "Genea-Man" showed up at the Chula Vista Genealogical Society meetings back in January, in a presentation I did of "Genealogy Is Fun! Seriously."
With the music of the Superman TV series swelling in the background, the announcer says:
----------------------------------------
Faster Than a Whirling Microfilm Machine.
More Powerful Than a Society Vice-President.
Able to Leap Over Two Gravestones in a Single Bound.
Look – Out In The Stacks! It’s a Nerd – It’s a Geek!
No – It’s "Genea-Man!"
Yes, "Genea-Man." A Strange Visitor from another Library who came to town with research abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
"Genea-Man" – Who can change the course of mighty pedigree charts and find ancestors in obscure documents.
Who, disguised as Randy Seaver, mild-mannered researcher for CVGS, fights a never-ending battle to find the Names, Dates, and Places of his Ancestors.
--------------------------------------------
A bit presumptuous, of course, but it got a laugh. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a cape to swirl around, nor could I find a way to fly in and land on the auditorium stage. No matter...I told them my x-ray vision wasn't working that day, and everybody groaned.
Now I need to get a comic strip started, I guess. Graphic is much better than words.
