First of all I'd like to thank dannavy85 for pointing out the existence of the fanfiction.net site to me in a previous post. I've just posted my rather long short story (short novel?) up there (under the nom de plume of Tetsuwan Penguin) that I had previously posted here piecemeal. Now the thing is ...

They caught the second one. My daughters were in 'lock down' at college all day, now they can get back to their classes.

Wow that convention will be in my neck of the woods (Miami is about 35 miles from my house)! Too bad it's mostly Mavel,DC,etc type comics... hope some Tezuka related stuff will be there. I hope they will publish the books printed Right to Left (spine on the right) like in Japanese. It's better for p...

Yuck, snail snot!
