“Neal Adams’ most undeniable quality was the one that I had known about him my entire life: he was a father,” Josh Adams wrote on Twitter. “Not just my father, but a father to all that would get to know him.”

Ghostbusters Daddy Issues
‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ director Jason Reitman used his ‘complicated’ relationship with his father to take on the franchise he’s avoided his whole life
It must be nice to work out your issues publicly like this. I guess I do that too with my standup. I haven’t done much about my dad yet but I’m working on it.

Stop Sending Robin Williams Impression Video To Zelda Williams
I can’t believe we have to say this but stop sending the Robin Williams impression video to Zelda Williams.
Guys, I’m only saying this because I don’t think it’ll stop until I acknowledge it… please, stop sending me the ‘test footage’. I’ve seen it. Jamie is SUPER talented, this isn’t against him, but y’all spamming me an impression of my late Dad on one of his saddest days is weird.
— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) October 12, 2021
Weird? Hell yeah. It’s an amazing impression but come on. Sending it to his daughter is just mean. And weird. Did we mention weird?
I’m forced to think about my dad every time I see a TV show or movie with daddy issues and that’s pretty often because I love superhero stuff. My dad was not famous. And Robin Williams wasn’t just famous, he was mega famous. He’s everywhere. So she has to think about her dad, who died in a terrible way, constantly. “Spamming” the video to her is cruel. Cut it out.
