'Harry Potter' shouldn't be children's first experience with suspense and plot turns.

He comic page is dying; I didn't want to go with it.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.

I can say that even in the midst of my most cynical comic stripping: Opus shone through with a bit of heart, anchoring the ugly proceedings with a comforting pull of emotion.

Steve Dallas...a frat-boy lawyer who I knew in school. He's never written me. I suspect he was shot by an annoyed girlfriend, which has saved me many legal fees.

I ignore Hallmark Holidays. And this comes from a guy who has sold a million Opus greeting cards.
