Adam, Eve, and Toaster:

These are, of course, characters from Homo Lapin (aka my life's work). Adam and Eve are the protagonists of the first story; where they are, a completely obvious use of foreshadowing, the last two Homo sapiens on Earth. Toaster, I think is actually an appliance . . . haven't decided, will be making his appearance in Homo Lapin III which takes place 1000 years after Homo Lapin I.

Weird story. I was at the coffeeshop yesterday, sipping tea and chatting with the girls, when this man and woman from California come in; nice chaps honestly. They talk about all sorts of things, but mostly the Wizard of OZ . . . go figure. Apparently he asked someone where Dorothy was from and they said Nebraska, but everyone else says Liberal. Anyway, conversation turned toward me and what I was doing in school. I told him art . . . he didn't quite understand the General Studies thing. He asked "What kind of art, painting, ceramics, bleh, bleh, bleh." And I told him that I do cartoonist/comicy sorts of things.

After which he proceeded to tell me that contrary to what my professors and artist friends have said: there is alot of money in illustration.

So maybe this whole Homo Lapin thing will get refined one day and I will have comic books, cartoons, and animated films featuring such beloved characters as Uber-Hare CO2X. Which would be awesome-cool . . . though most people think I'm crazy.

Luv,
Clay
