Oooh, pardon my manners.
*takes off hat and coat*
I might as well stay a while, no?
My name means "great rocky hill" in Old English. I am an Aquarius. Sometimes I think I'm Stan Lee. Sometimes I think I'm Joe The Plumber's leftie cousin. Sometimes I wake up and find myself in a dank, dingy warehouse doing manual labor. Sometimes I feel like screaming at Heaven. Sometimes I feel like barging into Hell and giving Lucifer a fat lip.
I want to be POTUS. I want to sing in a band that's only popular in Europe and Asia. I want to write the Great American Comic Book Story. I want to fight crime. I want to end that which causes crime. I want to save the world. I want to fall in love. I want to be loved and hated by the right people. I want all of those things at once or at least in monthly installments.
I want to you decide for yourselves whether I am insane or brilliant.

| Welcome!!! Yay--you found us! I find it is always best if you start with brilliant and then work your way back to whatever you think fits best!! Can't wait to read your work. I am currently reading Maus--an awesome comic/allegory about the holocaust. | |

Thanks Julie. Maus is great. I got to attend a lecture Art Speigelman gave a few years ago. Would you believe he created The Garbage Pail Kids? lol. | |

| Welcome, Darren! It looks like Alyssa already got your coat and hat? Let me know if you need a drink - currently we have egg nog flavored coffee, juice, and water--lol. As you can see though, we are certainly working on stocking the "pantry" with all kinds of goodies. Glad you're here. Please feel free to post anything, stories, suggestions, questions.

Julie told me about it. We've been friends for a few years and has critiqued some of my work. | |

Welcome Darren, I look forward to reading what you have written. And I agree with Alyssa, start at brilliant, and work to be what you are..... Speigelman's lecture was interesting. He basically made the case for comics as a legit art form with its own "language" for people unfamiliar to the medium. He focused on underground/indie comics and newspaper strips and sort of lamented the prominence of superhero comics. There was a slide show along with that, and he entertained questions for about a half an hour. It was funny how he made his entrance. He just sort of sauntered onstage and lit up a cigarette. | |

| But even if you are not, your dry wit brings a smile to my face. And, hey, being hated by the right people and giving Lucifer a fat lip are both respectable goals. Welcome and nice to meet you! --Sarah - Darren wrote:
