Today in Geek History

Hey guys! Happy Winter Solstice! Today is the shortest day of the year. I guess Summer solstice must be the tallest? Anyways, on to business at hand. Today is December 22nd and today in Geek History...

1914 Emil Sitka is born. A long-time foil for the 3 Stooges, he became one of only 2 actors to work with all 6 stooges. There were 6 stooges? Go fig.

1941 Archibald 'Archie' Andrews makes his first appearance in Pep Comics #22.

1943 Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit creater, dies at 77 in England. Not from Harry Potter people. Don't make the same mistake I did.
