cloud, accompanied by a spider who can defy perspective. \u00a0Looking at the renderings of Lile as the comic went on, I don&#8217;t think the cover lizard was drawn by me. \u00a0The head, tongue, and left arm were probably added by awful fusspot art teacher at the time Miss Gee, who had temper tantrums at the kids if they didn&#8217;t draw things her way. \u00a0She would do things like hold people&#8217;s artwork up in front of a whole class of grade schoolers as examples of what not to do, and give them a public dressing-down (get her to a psychiatrist, someone!). \u00a0I think I completed the right arm, hind legs, and back spine afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Also telling of Miss Gee&#8217;s control freakiness is the cover&#8217;s original title (pencil erasers didn&#8217;t seem to work back then), which looks like &#8220;Mike mossicq&#8221;, perhaps my attempt to tell a story about a mosquito. \u00a0There is one on the cover, but then the metaphorical Lizard-Queen-cum-art teacher comes in and eats him, and hijacks the story. \u00a0I guess I thought I better tell the rest of the story sweetly to avoid Miss Gee&#8217;s wrath. \u00a0(Besides, mosquitoes are harder to draw, not to mention spell!)<\/p>\n<p>Also, I like how god has some sort of halogen flare (not merely a halo) over his hat, not to mention the electrifying powers of Zeus. \u00a0And the globe of the world below him shows quite clearly the Old Faithful geyser, which I had seen back in August 1970. \u00a0Also, I like on the &#8220;falling in love&#8221; page how the air-mail pigeon returns to Heaven in the clouds as god seems to be watching TV. \u00a0Enjoy. \u00a0Arudou Debito<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the last comic for the holidays, thanks for
