DAILY CALL SHEET: SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

Strange New World (1975) Decent TV pilot has John Saxon and crew waking from suspended animation to find much has changed. Well, except for people. TIL: Pope John XXIII noted there will be no true progress until men return to a sense of their dignity as creatures and sons of God.

Funny Book Philosophy: Wasteland 001 (1987) Can't help but wonder if DC would have the stones to publish this vision of a secular utopia today?

Dad Rock Diary: Food - Forever Is a Dream (1969) Food analogy for this album? How about a chain dine-in restaurant. Tasty, varied menu, but few surprises for the palate. Laudable Lyrics: Spending my time beside you, wasting no time to help you, trying to love all of my friends.

Retroactive abortion, as in Philip K. Dick’s “The Pre-Persons”.

I actually haven't read that one, but looking at the synopsis, it's pretty similar, except in the Ostrander/Close comic there's no criteria other than a parent filling out the proper paperwork.

I remember that one. Probably inspired by Dick's story, which I believe can be found free on the internet: https://prolife.org.nz/the-pre-persons-phillip-k-dick/
