This should be pretty cool. An old friend of mine is writing this whole 
series. We both wrote for a Buffalo fanzine called the Avenue Player 
about 10 years ago. He's really funny and quite talented too. He missed 
our friend's wedding last weekend as he's flying between Japan, LA, & 
Paris (where the animators are)... rough life.
