On This Day: Lori Lemaris, Norm Breyfogle and Jeff Smith
Though the ocean tides play havoc with calendars, today is officially recognized as the birthday of Lori Lemaris, mermaid of Atlantis and one-time girlfriend of Superman. Don’t ask how old she is, though—a lady never reveals, not even a lady fish.
In the “real” world, today is also the birthday of comic book artist Norm Breyfogle and comic book creator Jeff Smith. Both were born in 1960.
Breyfogle is best known for his work on various Batman titles, while Jeff Smith is the creator of the popular Bone comic book series.
Happy birthday, guys!
And, even as I type, Norm is getting ready to draw up an all-new Munden's Bar story, as written by Occasional Superheroine's Val D'Orazio and our very own Martha Thomases.
Holy crap! I never remember seeing Lori looking like that back with I reading the Superman titles. Of course, way back when I was going through puberty I kept trying to look up Supergirls skirt by holding the comic at a angle. Never said I was the brightest kid on the block.
Makes sense that a mermaid should be a Pisces.
