*PPFSZT to you too!

A few months back, Jim Main the head honcho of Main Enterprises, published a short story of mine, entitled, Too much coffee, Man. in his publication *PPFSZT #28. Well Jim induced me to submit a second story, which I did, and this second story appears in *PPFSZT #30. This second story (like the first) was illustrated by the extraordinarily talented Jack Bertram. The second story is entitled Tea Party.

Jim has three more of my stories that he will be publishing, one is entitled Papyrus (illustrated by the very talented Alex Lopez), a second is entitled Regret (yet to be illustrated), and the third (which I just handed in) is entitled Slabbed.

I have to say that I’m really enjoying submitting stories to Jim. He has about a dozen eclectic publications that he produces on (apparently) random publishing schedules.

Oh, I also contributed an article to Comic Fan #6 about our mutual friend Rusty Haller.

Here is the opening page to Tea Party:

Too much coffee; Man!

One of my all-time favorite series is Shannon Wheeler's Too Much Coffee Man. It is a brilliantly witty, and darkly sardonic strip that spoke to the heart of coffee drinkers everywhere. I recently submitted darkly humorous strip to Jim Main’s THE BIG BOOK OF SMALL PRESS, which is due out early this year. The wonderful art if by Jack Bertam and, well, here is page one.



Needless to say, the story was inspired by Wheeler’s work, and hopefully he will find it amusing and not hurt me.
