Welcome to my all-new site. I’ve repainted the fuselage and replaced everything under the hood. “Scribblings” now shows my latest work, some of it even in color. The gift shop isn’t open yet and the caterer is running late, but feel free to wander about. Remember to tip your waiter… oops, I mean the person helping with your food choices.
With great power…

Watching the presidential candidates stumble about brings to mind Smilin’ Stan Lee’s timeless lesson from “Amazing Fantasy” #15. The cover art (left) is by the legendary Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, the interior art (including the below final panels) was a solo effort by Ditko.

Robert DeNiro in Heat
I know this isn’t going to make any sense. Trust me, if you knew him it’d be real funny.
One from the archives.
I was always fond of this one. For the record, the dude here has no idea he’s a rat.
Ho, ho, ho.
Happy Thanksgiving
Heinlein’s Rules
As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get much better than a Heinlein novel. Go ahead, read Job: A Comedy of Justice or Time Enough for Love. I’ll wait.
You’re back? Good. See? How can you go wrong with a sci-fi, libertarian misogynist? (He’s not misogynistic. He’s just accused of it by those missing the point.) Anyway, I ran across these rules recently here.
Rule One: You Must Write
Rule Two: Finish What Your Start
Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order
Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market
Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold
They make a lot of sense for more than just writing, I think.
Happy Election Day!
Maybe it’s time to give the Visigoths a turn.
Tusk, tusk
I like this one. I really like this one. But, after a few versions it was finally decided that it may not be the best fit for the market. C’est la vie.
The technology blues
My 10-year-old son recently asked me how old I was when Grandma and Grandpa bought me my first cell phone.
