Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

February 19, 2010

The Flash, Wolverine, Batman Forever, FlashForward, Mork & Mindy, Moonfleet, Pufnstuf, Space 1999, Invisible Agent, Project UFO.

Today is a little unusual when it comes to people and events. The main reason I say this is because Mama Cass and Cracker Jacks are on the list. Humor me on these, as I said it's a blog with related areas.
