Lost in Reading

I was known to have read a few comic books in my younger days. A few thousand. Click the picture to read a fun 8-page story, “Lost in the Microcosm,” by Harvey Kurtzman. For easier reading, select “full-size” in the gallery.

In honor of my twinster Jean’s birthday, here’s something I know she likes. Winsor McCay’s still-amazing animation, Little Nemo in Slumberland (1911).

The movie It’s a Wonderful Life was based on a short story called The Greatest Gift, which starts with these sentences:

George Edward Pratt
