I know things have been pretty inactive for the past couple of months. :-) My computer died, my scanner broke, and every second of time has beeneaten up by school, work, and other projects. This newsletter is a coupleof weeks past due (and very, very small), and I haven't really done anymajor updating to my site in a couple of months. I'll try to keep my sitea little more up to date, but don't expect any major revisions untilwww.he-man.org launches (still set for a launch sometime in mid-to-late March).

This newsletter is for you, so please send your comments, suggestions, etc.to me at ctyner@he-man.org.

As always, previous issues can be found at http://www.he-man.org/archive/

I've only gotten in a few entries, and I'd at least like to get as manyentries submitted as I did with the '97 contest... If you have anyquestions or concerns, please e-mail ctyner@he-man.org

Martin Kievits (Fesch@aol.com) reports that He-Man, however briefly, wasaired in Germany in December. K-Toon, part of a German digital pay-tvbundle consisting of 30 or so channels, aired the He-Man/She-Ra ChristmasSpecial on Dec. 25th and a few times shortly afterwards. The translationto German was poorly done, by the way. :-p

Hopefully this is just the beginning of MOTU/POP's domination of theairwaves! We'll see what 1999 has to hold...

Apparently Amazon.com had information on its site in December about theimpending re-release of He-Man videos in the year 2000. However, thatinformation is no longer being shown on the site, so....I'm not sure what'sgoing on, but wouldn't it be nice if it were true? :-)

Last month's question was probably the least successful ever, drawing in arecord 0 responses. I guess that's what I get for mailing out a newsletterin mid-December when everyone's on break. :-p

Thom McKiernan (thom@fucola.freeserve.co.uk) has come up with a questionthat I think should bring in at least a handful of responses. "Many peopleI have talked to are so obsessed with He-Man that they have had dreamsabout him, me being one of them. Are we just mad, or is this acommon occurrence? What have the dreams been about?"

Thom mentions a dream he once had involving He-Man. "I had one a long timeago in which I was assisting He-Man and his allies cross a rope bridge.However, the bridge snapped and we allcascaded into the shark-infested waters. 'Luckily' we were all saved byDavid Hasselhoff and the Baywatch team. I don't know how I would ofpreferred it to have ended?!?! I also have constant nightmares of my dadbeing Skeletor. I think I need help!"

Send your responses to ctyner@he-man.org and they'll be included with thenext issue.
