Godspeed Jan


My stepmother passed away about an hour ago. It’s not unexpected. She’s been fighting cancer for the last few months.

I supposed there are wicked stepmothers out there, that cliche must have started somewhere, but Jan wasn’t one of them. She always made me feel welcome. She brought me two brothers and gave me a little sister.

She took so many photographs. We were seen even when we thought we didn’t want to be.

She’s gone to join my father. They were a good match and she’s been waiting for this reunion. She’s at peace.

1995 Calendar: December


Detritus, Moe and K.Z. visit with faeries and an angel. As I understand it faeries were angels originally. They were the ones who thought Lucifer’s revolt was nothing to be concerned about and so neither joined it nor fought it. So while they fell with Satan’s forces their descent stopped at the Earth. Of course, that’s a christian explanation for faeries. I can’t remember what the original pagan explanations were. Or if they had them.

Youths 1995


In the center of the 1995 calendar I included a couple of illustrations of the Misspent Youths gang. This one, the first illustration, depicted the kids as a teenagers. (Mostly. The one with the teddy bear was about eight. He was a child that Moe and Lili rescued from a cult in an unpublished episode of Bonecage Graffiti.)
