The guy, whose name escapes me, who wrote the old "Funky Winkerbean" strip in the newspapers, was from Wisconsin and in the late 1980s use to have some of the characters occasionally in BoDeans t-shirts. -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Drew MacDonald Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 8:00 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Sometimes power-pop stories appears in the strangest places. The article's author, Mike Baron, co-created and wrote one of the best comic book series of the last 25 years ("Nexus") and he would occasionally work in references to then-current bands (the BoDeans, for instance) even though the series was set in the future. He also wrote an interesting series blending sci-fi and rock'n'roll ("Sonic Distruptors") that was cancelled before it ended, unfortunately.
