Was 1959 the first time the word Blog was used? That’s what the Accordion Guy wonders:

In 1959, the Lois Lane comic featured Clark Kent and Lois Lane in a story in which our two favourite Daily Planet reporters end up in one of those “valleys that time forgot” that eventually appear in every suprerhero comic. It’s typical “goofy age” Superman fare: Lois and Clark end up in some crazy situation in which Lois acts all stuck-up and Supes uses his powers surreptitiously. What makes this comic noteworthy is the use of the word “blog”. Unfortunately, it’s not “blog” as in “weblog”, but “Blog” as the name of a cave-dwelling nebbish.

This is a stellar comic book moment for Superman’s alter ego. I especially like where the dinosaur is on a rampage and they say:

All right, Blog! Here’s my first request! Stop that rampaging dinosaur … ALL BY YOURSELF!

Did this post make you go hmm?
