The archaeological dig through my past continues as old files are sorted and full closets are emptied, yielding all sorts of wonderful and forgotten (or, in some cases, wonderfully forgotten!) treasures, personal and historic. Including an amazing and previously unknown piece of work by a seminal creator of the comics business; a Google search of said work produced zero results; I’m in touch with the creator’s official biographer and we will be pursuing, at some point soon, a way to get this into publication with the family’s blessing…but that’s neither here nor there!… Read the rest

Here’s a little ditty ’bout Bigfoot and Carol I wrote for Weekly World News in May 2005. I was playing with a “story” that had been dominating the news around the time of Jennifer Wilbanks, the “runaway bride” who claimed to have been abducted the day before her wedding…but wasn’t.… Read the rest
A long, long time ago, I wrote for Crazy Magazine, Marvel’s answer to MAD Magazine. While MAD was and remains an institution (and knowing the MADmen as I do, I can vouch for the need for one to hold them), Crazy was, at the time–late-1970s/early-1980s–way more cutting edge.… Read the rest
