Spouse of Storytime says about ST #s 126-127 (Dr. Strange)

I've got a question about the cape. Did he get the right size?

[Interviewer: It's one-size-fits-all?]

Did the Ancient One have to go into the closet and pick it out--"Oh, here's the one that would look nicest on you. But it's dry-clean only. . . " I'd like to see the Ancient One shop.

[Interviewer: He does it all on QVC. Remember, he's bedridden. Anyway, seriously, what did you think of these two issues?]

I like them. I thought they were very exciting. He had to fight the Dread Dormammu, and then we found there was further intrigue with the Idiot Ones--"

[Interviewer: Mindless Ones.]

--Mindless Ones, and how he had to weigh which action was worse. So, if the Ancient One has got his powers back, why do we need Dr. Strange now?

[Interviewer: Well, he's still old. In fact, he's ancient. It says so. Right in his own name. Would you let yourself be called "The Ancient One" unless you were really, really old? I sure wouldn't. I'd call myself "The Middle-Aged One" for as long as possible.]

I liked the red cape. But what does the Eye of Agamoto do that's different from his generic amulet?

[Interviewer: Not much? Maybe it was just cooler for Steve Ditko to draw.]
