Henrietta Hippo and elephant too, Went for a party at Noah's zoo. They took a boat ride on the ark you know- Cause it rained and it rained and it came a big flood.
The bible claims that God instructs Noah to board the ark with his family, and seven pairs of birds and the clean animals, and two pairs of the unclean animals, and "on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth."
True, true story: Last night Tom's Cats were all excited. They bounced from window to window. Something, someone on the porch had caught their attention. A pair of juvenile raccoons! This morning, as I descended the hill outside their hose (Tom's, and, his cats, two smallish haws flew out of the trees. I am house sitting this weekend; camera will be at the ready!
In the early 1970s author and literary agent David Obst suggested to Marvel publisher Stan Lee and DC editorial director Carmine Infantino that there should be a movie crossover featuring Marvel Comics' Spider-Man and DC Comics' Superman characters. However, there was already a Superman movie planned by Warner Bros. (the first Superman movie in that franchise), and a series of Spider-Man TV Movies, so instead the two companies settled for an oversize comic book entitled Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century. The comic was published in 1976 and featured the two title characters, Mary Jane Watson and Lois Lane, Jonah Jameson and Morgan Edge and the villainous Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor. It was the second time the two U.S. comic book giants published a joint venture, the first being 1975's MGM's Marvelous Wizard of Oz.
Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man The Battle of the Century was the result of these efforts. The writing was done by Gerry Conway and the penciling by Ross Andru. Both of these creators had worked on Superman and Spider-Man before in their own titles. The editing was done by a variety of individuals, including Sol Harrison, Stan Lee, Carmine Infantino, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Roy Thomas and others. According to a piece written by Daniel Best on this comic (based on his interviews with Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Carmine Infantino, Mark Evanier, Neal Adams and John Romita) Neal Adams did some finished art on Superman in the comic and John Romita did some finished art on Spider-Man (in his Peter Parker guise.)
