The It's a Small World Department

My correspondence buddy Wim Lockefeer (we trade comics ephemera and stamps) has put up his best of the year list and on it is Chris Grine's Chickenhare: Fire in the Hole. Our Man Thompson sat next to Chris at HeroesCon this year so we talked to him quite a bit. I wholeheartedly agree with Wim's endorsement - I bought both of his books for my daughter.

Richard Thompson and his first customer, Kevin Greenlee. We had a nice breakfast at Lola's, although livermush was an option that we all skipped.
