It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

The Lake of Birds.
A small scow-boat with four passengers  drifts toward a grove of strange alien plants covered in deadly spines. Dead birds and bodies are seen in the water that surrounds them.

Here the streets swarmed with diverse humanity... so that when I saw, for example, a man whose hat was made from a bird's pelt with the wings used for ear flaps...I might see a hundred more such tribesmen around the next corner."

Absolutely. There's already a movement of comics now under the tag #iceoutcomics, and these stories should be read and shared far and wide

The time I was asked to do a Jack Kirby portrait for a friend's poetry book (I think it's out of print). It was fun assembling the jacket from Kirby pages!

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

We really need to teach our kids how to spot intellectual garbage. This is a hug hole in our educational system.

Anyway, good morning from this evergreen quote from a guy we teach the kids is a great American hero
Frederick Douglass quote from 1857:

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power conceded nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

Looking through some old files, I came across Keith Giffen’s plot for one of our Booster Gold issues. Keith didn’t write out a plot, he drew it, with impeccable visual storytelling and all the foundation I could possibly need to build my script on. We miss you, Keith!
