Ah yes, the ole Tim Hamilton newspaper trick! I use it all the time...hasn't failed me yet. In fact, I remember the very first time I used that device, it was way back in '43 when I did that story about that pesky 10 ft tall Nazzi, Ursula, fighting those pygmy headhunters on Mars. I told the whole damn thing in newspaper clippings! I was the toast of the town! They loved me back then. {sob}

It was the first time anyone was ever cheering for Martian pygmy headhunters. Their use for the remains of her thigh bones was astounding. Allowing her to regenerate, like some Nordic Goat, was another stroke of genius. Thor would be proud.

Warren. You just out-freaked me. Have you ever thought about writing for comics?

I am trying Joe...however I have discovered that being a smart ass is not that great a subsitution for...oh, actual writing talent.
Once I finish this chapter of Wagonburg (and then refinish it), I will let you judge for yourself.

D'oh! My sincerest apologies. I'm so sorry, Warren, I forgot that you did create comics. For what its worth, you consistently have me laughing out loud. Not that LOL crap but seriously LAUGHING OUT LOUD!

Any stories about Ursula The 10-Foot Nazi would be read with great interest. Ahem.

Dude you're totally trashing the collectors value of that Comic by cutting the pages like that!
I like how this and Floating Elephant could be doing a crossover or something...Viva the Act-i-Verse!

Thanks, Simon.
I'd love to do a Floating Elephant / Secret Wars-esque clash. I see it as the birth of a whole new Act-i-verse continuity!
Kudos on coining that 'Act-i-verse'. If we ever get an imprint, lookout Marvel and watchout DC!

The fireworks are a little bit late for 4th of July. But in b/w they look still impressive/loud. And I like Tims idea for the action figure. Go big!

Thanks, Thomas. If I could have posted these on Friday the 4th I would have. Instead, I did what I could to spread out the festivities.
Glad you liked the statue. I would love to do a whole line of action figures.

Another amazing sequence, Joe. Great pace. Your Chiaroscuro rules. What have these Ultra Powers wrought?

Thanks, Dean! This was obviously coming from your Austrian side right? Y'know the smart half?
All razzing aside, I appreciate it, man. I look forward to the next time we can share friendly jabs in person.

I'm staring at these pages and anything I can think of to say seems inadequate and redundant.
In lieu of praise, I've sent out the link to ULTRA-Lad on my LOVIATHAN mailing list so that as many people as possible can watch this great comic develop.
BTW - I notice your panel borders are a little wobbly. I'll loan you a ruler.

Mille grazie, paisan! I'm a little speechless, myself. I know you don't throw the praise around liberally so this means a lot. I really appreciate this.

That Ultra Lad Idol (or whatever it is) is a great design!!
Make an action figure.
