About Me

**Fringe boy of Family of Sex, Knuckles the Malevolent Nun, The Associates, Catcher's Maze, Vampire Tales, Joe Dole, Sooth....**I'm, as I say, equally gregarious and aloof.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Many of the great cartoonists of the last hundred years. Of course, many of them are already dead/gone. You get that, but the list includes Charles Schulz, Gil Kane, Tom Sutton, Alex Toth, Jack Kirby, Jack Cole, Will Eisner, Jim Aparo, Alfredo Alcala, Kurt Schaffenberger, Carl Barks, Don Newton, Gray Morrow, Mike Parobeck, Gene Day, Ross Andru and John Buscema. All cactus and unavailable.I have met Walt Simonson, so that's an odd bit of luck.
