Not to minimize what needs to be done, but there are trade-offs.

They're not recalling the chargers: only a wall adapter plug.

Many years ago I wrote and co-directed up in Palo Alto a hopeful video game startup called THE MAREXX (the name The Matrix having just been taken by some little sf film or other). I brought in artists David Mattingly and Barclay Shaw to do the main artwork. We were doing motion capture when no one else was trying it…

Find the tiger....

Nothing beats the Harry Clarke illos.

Where's Blacksad?

The Bell Laboratory Science series, the first four of which were written and produced by none other than Frank Capra.

No Childhood's End. No Stapeldon (Odd John, Last and First Men).
