I listened to both interviews, ALL THINGS MARILYN PODCAST & your substack talk. Your Father’s reverence and most importantly respect for Marilyn was incredible! Cheers to the Haspiels.

Happy birthday Dean. I have never been able to figure out wether Marlyin and all those others "boob ladened babes" were speaking for independence and women's rights or or women's subjugation as mens toys. Most likey a phenomenon of the moment. Your interview is important to the larger history of the time.

My girlfriend who doesn't read comics just walked by my computer and said "That's James Haspiel" and moved on.

I told my father and he laughed out loud!

I bought/read Marilyn the ultimate look at the legend. What an incredible book. The photos are so personal and gorgeous! I love the one with Marilyn in the convertable. I look forward to listening to your recording with your father.
