I'm going into my dealer Saturday, praying fervently... (Hell, I put three
of his kids through college!  When I walk in, other patrons head for the
check-out stand with dispatch, as they don't want to be caught behind me.
Sheesh!  I don't get no respect...).

Does this mean Sutton will be leaving the Trek book?  My general wish is
that he doesn't, as I'm afraid they'll put somebody much worse in there.  He
isn't bad in closeups, but his wide shots tend to be sketchy, and machinary
(including the Enterprise (whoops, Excelsior)) tend to be crude.

Your right, Yeates is very good (though his old Swamp Things are also very
good); and these stories are extremely entertaining.

Well, I'm not sure I'd go that far; I am pleased to see that he's no longer
digitizing all the figures and then putting them into the comic (shades of
Foometti).  Don't you find the personalities of the characters rather
lifeless?  Maybe it's just the geometric nature of the art, but I find them
pretty cold.  Give me Maggie and Hopey any day...

                    TWO)   Avoid eye contact.
                    THREE) If there are no eyes, avoid all contact."
