Free Comic Book Day is receiving one of its largest public relations boosts, thanks to the conjunction of Wolverine in theaters and Hugh Jackman’s promotional video. Jackman didn’t do it by himself, of course, but he has consistently been a terrific advocate, not only for comic books, but also for comics’ creators!
And, speaking of creators, a number of forces clearly had to come together to make that video and provide it circulation. Thanks to all!

My apologies – one more time. This is intended as a comment to your posts on McGill and Poelsma. I couldn’t tell if it posted, so I’m trying one more time, "off topic" to your fine compliment to Hugh Jackman.
Again, my thanks to you for your fine site.

Dear Maggie,
I just came across your posts on Mz Augusta, and McGill and Poelsma. I’m a great fan of this beautiful strip, which I came across when I moved to central Louisiana some 40 years ago – and discovered it in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which my parents received up in Alexandria, LA. I believe the fellow on the left is McGill. I wrote them a fan letter, and received a very nice reply from McGill, who was the writer. I wish I had followed up more dutifully! Let me know if you ever find out more information about them. Both they, the wriing and the art were very cool.
I love your site. Great work.

ps. Is there a book collection of Trog?
ps2. I once met Stanley ! (Little Lulu.) This was at a fabled Boston Comic Con – where I was also treated to dinner by Uncle Carl (Carl Barks), along with about 30 others. I had connections.
Just bragging ! 
Again, I love your posts.
