"I told you Cerebus' pants were too tight" or "Sophia never brought home her little playmates to meet me." And Mind Games IV is one of my favourite issues.

Ok, no, I'm ...I don't mean to brag, but...<br /><br />Ok, no, I'm gonna brag here.<br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />Many years ago, back when Dave and I were exchanging handwritten letters (before I started typing on the electronic interconnected qwerty thingy and he began writing on his old 1930s second-hand sportswriter's Royal typewriter (which he also used for upper-torso exercise, as it weighs a ton)), Dave once began a letter to me with the sentence:<br /><br />"Thank you for your letter, which was written in very... (italics on the next word--Jeff)...distinctive handwriting.<br /><br />It turns out, purely by some freaky odds (or, as he and I believe, God), we both use the same handwriting, a mix of cursive and printing, if you're old enough to know those terms.<br /><br />No, I did not copy his style, nor did he mine. Just God moving across the firmament in mysterious ways.<br /><br />Right, Dave?Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-34759482061074014032014-09-11T21:14:23.524-05:002014-09-11T21:14:23.524-05:00Love the Church & State stuff.
