Roaming the Eons

This is a favorite photo of our dearly departed Ray Bradbury, sitting in the original time machine from the classic film, around 1960.

I'd like to think that he is somewhere roaming the eons.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a time machine and be able to go back and speak to now deceased persons of interest when they were still alive? Who'd be your first choice, Thom?

That's a hard one,KId. There are so many. Crazy, but my first thought is Walt Kelly or Walt Disney or Walt Whitman. I'd like to be friends with any of those three. Or Marilyn Monroe.

Oh yes, there are many side trips I'd like to make. I'd like to talk with my dad before he went off to war . . . And then run by the Algonquin Room. Then I'd meet you at the news stands.

Can't you just see the news stand guy telling his crony, "Them two boys jes' spent a sawbuck and got a hunnert comical books. Now why on airth would they do thet?"

We can't get too many Actions, or they'll devalue. Let's get plenty of the other comics and some of those great magazines.
