Ramayana
Heh.
I imagine some kids got into reading comics through Superman or Batman or the X-Men. Not me, man! I got into all those tights-wearing super-heroes much later in the game.
I got started reading comics with The Picture Bible, that 800-page comical behemoth–containing both Old and New Testaments (but none of the sex and gore!). (The only thing that saved me–heh–was a heaping dose of Tintin and Capn Haddock… Cigars of the Pharaoh was an eye-opener, let me tell you!)
Oh my, I’m realizing now that I read a bunch of these Jack Chick comics, invariably while hanging out at other people’s houses. I think I had radar for anything in comic book format. I couldn’t get enough.

On the virtues of idleness
It’s a good one. You don’t run across someone citing Marinetti very often.
Amabuddy… ama(zon)buddy?
Not that I really ever buy books anymore, being a poor student and all.
What I want (but have no idea how to construct, dammit!) is something like this that I could call that would place a hold for a book that I see at a bookstore at the nearest library. Maybe I’ll talk to these amabuddy guys about that…
oh! to so bashfully have ones fingers nibbled by a duck!
odd sounds, happened upon
He’s no Dick Van Dyke!
Interactive Maps
