Anyway, I did want to make note of the lovely packet sent to me by Suzanne Marsden in Ottawa. She's involved in a very entertaining zine, ABRAXIAS' DREAM, and is herself a good cartoonist and cat fan.

She also sent issues 1-5 of her friend Troy Little's noirish serial, CHUAROSCURO: nice crisp line work, a certain Eddie Cambellish quality in the environments, a bit of manga in the characters' features, and a certain Bob Fingerman 'thing' that I can't quite place. Very attractive.

Suzanne also kindly sent the CD I am now listening to, which is soothing and slithery and doing me the world of good. (Early Christian Womens' Chants of the Middle East - Cool, really!) Many many thanks...
Oh btw, if anybody gets a huge long 'comment' from me, with all grumping about the flu, and bad language about the boiler man, it is Wotan's fault. I can't figure out what happened to that entry...?...
