Hollis this is so cool. I'll show this to my high school age boys when I get home tonight. I've always looked for ways to create, within them, a desire to read. Not very successful. I'll let you know how it goes.

Now I see why you used the picture of yourself reading comics as an avatar.  It takes a while to see the entire person when you have to look back through that tiny wire in the wall.  Little nuggets of info get dropped for the careful forum junkie to collect and savor.  But this is a bonanza of nsight on the rest of Possum's world.  It's a very cool world.

for beginners who are skeptical about the power of this, read Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. Gullah, have your boys read Blankets by Craig Thompson. I won;t even demand a book report!

race report: I am traumatized. It was one of those shock jock combatitve radio shows. It was awful, their "devil's advocate" approach to "interviewing" me was so totally uncool. then they hung up on me! My boss was listening and said I did fine, that now I;m ready to face Bill O'Reilly. Grrrrrreat..
