I remember the House of Wax well; I saw it while I was in graduate school,
and the glasses were polarized. I went with a charming young lady who
later married me. We met in September, 1992. The movie was before we were
married (which happened in August, 1994). My guess is the Spring of 1993,
or possibly a bit later. This was my second stereo movie, the first was in
1939 or 1940. My only anaglyphic movie was about a year ago. Hated it.

I don't know a thing about anaglyphic comics; I had stopped reading comics
by then; all I had time for were heavy technical books, science fiction
magazines, and her books on the economic history of medieval Florence, or
say a history of Russia.

Sorry I didn't keep a diary. :-)
