At last count, 80 companies around the country were selling tens of thousands of items related to the celestial itinerant. Enterprising pitchmen are hawking comet coins, medals, travel bags, pendants, posters, glow-in-the-dark pencils, hair glitter and, in playful memory of visitations past, yogurt-flavored comet pills.

If Peaches sees McKenzie's spiky talents settle and mature, Paul Cox's recent Human Touch, shot after Monahan's movie, sees it glow.
