It´s Mutanten Mittwoch with Dave Cockrum

This post was kind of unplanned as until further notice I have to take a break from the birthday posts because of technical difficulties that have been plaguing me for the last few days. But there is a bright side to this.


TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES - RESTART YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICE !!!

I don´t want to go into too much detail but after getting rid of a lot of animated GIFs that have accumulated over all those years ( and which I probably would not have used on the blog anyway ) my laptop suddenly had all kind of problems. Figures. I finally decide to free more space on my laptop and instead of making things better it starts acting up. The best ( worst ) part of it was that all my bookmarks as well as my passwords were completely deleted. At least for a time. I have managed to restore some of them but who knows how long this lasts ? This is already the second time that I had to restore everything and as it is I am lucky to write this post.


It´s really a sobering experience how dependent we have become to e - mail accounts, amazon, facebook and other websites and what happens when we don´t have access to them without our passwords. So besides the trouble with the internet the laptop itself starts acting up when I am trying to download pictures or burn them or delete them. Which means I probably can´t prepare any new material for upcoming posts. Which in turn means that even if I will have the time to write a new post I may not be able to do one because I can´t do the necessary preparations for it.

But let´s be realistic, it´s not like I wasn´t way behind with the birthday posts. Now with all that said and done you may ask yourself where the good part is in this and how I can write this post if I can´t prepare any material. It´s right that I can´t prepare any NEW material. But - and that is a big but - I can still use all the OLD material which I prepared for posts I wanted to write and never got around to do ( unless of course my laptop completely crashes and deletes everything but let´s not think about it ).


Speaking of logistic nightmares, the way things are going I may have to use a different browser in the future so don´t be surprised if things look different here. Anyway, coming back to the good news for some years now I kept postponing a Dave Cockrum UNCANNY X - MEN tribute post and as fate wills it this was the last stuff I prepared before the laptop went on the fritz. So it´s the first thing I am posting and there even is a second part which will be all about one of my favorite x - gals, Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. But that´s in the future. For now here is my small tribute to Dave Cockrum who often gets overlooked in favor of John Byrne´s tenure on the book. And not to diminish John Byrne´s contribution to the series but without Cockrum´s kick - ass issues we never would have gotten this far. 


Initially I wanted to save this for my next Chris Claremont birthday post but since I don´t know when or even if that will happen here it is now.
