Austrian Karl Kraus (1876-1936) was a well-known satirist in Germany. Think about that. This guy was cracking wise during Hitler's rise to power. Tough gig.

WHAT THE $#@! HAPPENED?

Well, let me tell ya. It turns out Movable Type suffered a big snafu in coding and many, many people who depend on blog-love got aced out for the last couple of days. These things happen, I suppose. The good news is I'm all better and we can continue the party. Maestro, strike up the band!

HERE WE GO: It's happening. I've stuck my toe into the comic book world along with two writers from Philadelphia and this is just a sample. It's a tale of GOOD vs EVIL and how a U.S. soldier makes his way through it. I'm in the midst of creating this 30 page story and a publishing date is imminant. STAY TUNED for all the glorious tidbits forthcoming. If you were ever curious about what a John Cox book would look like....here ya go.

Learn a little more about this project here.
