*BACK FROM BARBADOS!!
And feeling pretty fine!! What a damn groovy time we had way down on the tiny little island in the Caribbean. Flying fish, mahi-mahi, Mount Gay Rum and Banks beer was consumed by the assload. Mmmm-mm!!

I don't wanna say a whole lot about it cuz I'm gonna do a few strips. But I've got to thank Delia and Bird, who run the great Legend Gardens Condos. This is the place we stayed at up in Mullins Bay, just south of Speightstown. I cannot recommend this place any stronger than I am now. They provide the stuff you cannot get at some hotel. Genuine warmth. Go! It is paradise!! With monkeys and lizards and frogs and lots of other fun and freaky animals.

*I'M BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL..
..trying to catch up. I'm working to get the new K Chronicles to print this week so I can have it for my slideshow at the Euphrat Museum up in Northern California and at the Wondercon Comics Fest in San Francisco. The new title: I Left My Arse in San Francisco!!

*LETTER OF THE WEEK...

Hey man,
I really first became a fan when I caught one of your strips on Salon
about when you saw Thomas Dolby on tour. This was a couple of years back.
Though my favorite band is Talking Heads I couldn't help but feel the love
in that comic. I've tried to follow the strip since then as much as
possible but I'm back in school finally doing my degree and I don't get to
catch up all the time. So, the last time I caught a strip your wife had
just been told she had/may have cancer again and then I caught your strip
on the Barbados vacation. I hope that the vacation was as a result of your
wife's health. I love the strip and I hope sincerely for the best for you
and yours. Oh, and I also caught your strip on Willie O'Ree. I'm a
Canadian, was raised on hockey and know that both hockey and tolerance are
part of our national myth. I wouldn't have known about O'Ree if it weren't
for you. Thank you.

P.
