Singer Kate Bush was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth this week for her services to music. If I understand correctly, a CBE is the third-highest honor, Knighthood being the top, awarded by royalty in Britain. It's two notches up from the MBEs the Beatles were controversially awarded back in the 1960s, when no one could scarcely imagine a Beatle ever being knighted, as Sir Paul McCartney was several years ago.
Anyway, Kate had this to say:
"I feel incredibly thrilled to receive this honour which I share with my family, friends and fellow musicians and everybody who has been such an important part of it all," she said.
"Now I've got something special to put on top of the Christmas tree."

The great comics artist/editor Carmine Infantino passed away earlier this week. I was out on vacation and didn't have a chance to put together a fitting tribute. But here's a nice look at Infantino's early career work for Timely comics.

Who created Spider-Man? Stan Lee? Steve Ditko? Jack Kirby? All of the above? 20th Century Danny Boy takes a detailed look in a post that includes some spectacular Ditko art. But I'm teasing it with this image by Kirby:
