Problem solved.

Have you ever read the last page of Dr. Seuss' I Had Trouble in getting to Solla Sollew?

Why doesn't anyone write children books like this anymore?

Envelope Art

Many years ago, when I first mailed Halo and Sprocket as a comic book submission to SLG Publishing, I decided to try to convince the editors to open it sooner by adding art to the envelope. This is what I pasted on it...

SLG, of course, picked it up as a short-run series. Later, Publisher Dan Vado told me that the image did influenced him to open the envelope sooner. It wasn't the art or joke that did it however, it was the fact that I'd actually checked their website before submitting..!

Captain Food Storage

Right after I received my Economic Stimulus Check, I decided to spurge a little and ordered a Faux Bronze Captain America statue. It's the most money I've ever spent on a single item like this, but it looks sooooo cool. (I own several Bowen Designs mini-busts, also cool.) I haven't gotten it yet. I will soon, hopefully.

I have a friend, who after losing his job, continued to buy things like this. A thought occurred to me. These kind of collectibles should be made from compressed rice, or such!

It would help justify buying them. If times ever got tough, you could eat them.

Old View-Master reels are cool

I jury-rigged my scanner to scan an old View-Master reel to get a better look of a frame I liked.

By the way, a more optimistic writer would have named the above character "Captain Hand."

Bele and Lokai

Remember that episode of the original Star Trek where the two guys were fighting because the black and white halves of their faces were on opposite sides? They were both from the planet Cheron , but considered themselves separate races. They hated each other.

Was anyone else waiting for Captain Kirk to ask the obvious question?

Imperious Rex!

I hope the US Olympics Swimming Team doesn't get in trouble for having Sub-Mariner racing for us.

Oh Shoot!

I suspect that when China designed the uniforms for the 2008 Summer Olympics Women's Archery Team, they hadn't recently watched any reruns of Gilligan's Island.
