The funny pages is a section of the newspaper I always adored.Telling a story in a few panels is tough; the level of details that are often added in each panel is often astounding. They tell the story of our times. Dilbert, Marvin, Calvin and Hobbes are all an intrinsic part of our daily lives.They change to keep up with the times. Our interpretation of these toons changing with our view of life.

The funny pages have been my constant companion through days in wit-sec when I was lonely scared kid, my crime spree days, prison, Cape Verde and now in Paris. The funny pages have got me through some dark times.

I was free in Paris sans anklet official dead no FBI breathing down my neck or Peter - Mozzie conflicting expectations. The world was my oyster. The loneliness was not unexpected but I found the isolation from the people I started to view as my family crushing. I missed bickering with Peter, brainstorming with Mozzie, mothering of June and Elizabeth.

I started my drawing my own comics mainly to ward of insomnia and may be in part to keep in touch with the family I left behind - the adventure of “Butch and Sundance” the badly dressed and intelligent detective and suave and genius artist - Mozzie, June, El, the FBI crew they all played parts. I could draw the familiar sights of Brooklyn, Central Park, the museums that dot the city. Places where I had some of best times of my life. It was therapeutic I poured a lot of feeling of loss and loneliness into these strips.

As of now these are for my private consumption only. Hopefully I can go back to city and people I love so much and share my creations with them.
