if you view something as bad or sinful, the only decent way around it is some really thorough justification.
My sister had moved to Alaska when I wrote this. There were many Chris McCandless jokes tossed about.
And hey, I have my East Coast convention schedule worked out (Unfortunately no Bruno books, there’s only a few left at TopatoCo, and I need to reprint them). Here goes:

SPX Small Press Expo
Sep 16-18, Rockville, MD
InterventionCon
Sep 24, Cambridge, MA
MICE Comic Expo
Oct 1-2, San Francisco
APE Comic Con
When I have a fever, why don’t I have Tennyson to visit?
Anyhow, this is my first (and only?) “parody” in Bruno, that of Dante’s Inferno, with Tennyson playing the part of Virgil. Fun, no?
Ooh, this week is a bit of an intense one for me. It was me examining (and re-interpreting them into events which could be in Bruno’s life) all the little embarrassing or humiliating moments from growing-up which I mulled over and over and never forgave myself for.
Memory is such a powerful thing if you let it get away with itself.
Sometimes it’s hard when one person wants to be friends, and not the other. A conflict I still face sometimes in my life (on both eneds), and suspect I always will.
Human nature, liking the chase, cutting losses, they never seem to lose fascination. Shakespeare will always be relevant as long as people have hearts to give and to break.
I love this week, and wonder if that why I have so little to say about it. I mean, what more to add?
