My Journal

One of the biggest thrills of my early professional comic writing career was when I bought a comic I had written off the same rack where I bought comics as a kid. It was at Bill’s Drugs in Orinda, California. The same stand where I had bought Detective Comics #475, Spider-Man #121, Hulk #180, Uncle Scrooge #141 and hundreds of other stories I that had loved growing up.

Here we go again!

It looks like Minerva was able to shake off her holiday blahs after all, thanks to the Ramsey Lewis Trio’s “The Sound of Christmas” and the cartooning magic of Dave Alvarez. It’s nice to see her happy again. And Slappy?

This Christmas Jingle's trading the North Pole for the North Shore -- of Kauai, that is. We'll catch up with her again next fall. Aloha!

Minerva's giving the holidays a pass this year. Rendering by Dave Alvarez based on an unused Animaniacs pitch of mine from about a thousand years ago.

Have some fun tonight -- if the spirit moves you!
