I fell in love with the movie “Singin’ in the Rain” when I was a little girl. I suspect that the dance number in which the main character woos his love on an empty sound stage had quite a bit to do with this scene, however indirectly.

Molly Demeter Sokolow Hayden (or Modemeter, for obvious reasons of length) grew up surrounded by her father’s comic book collection, sometimes literally. She fell in love with Will Eisner’s Spirit at an inappropriately young age and wishes she could draw like Jaime Hernandez. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, her daughter, and her cat, and sneaks down to her drawing table whenever she can.
