My friend Zach (ex-patron of Acme) always held fast to the idea that if you simple shot him in the eye & let the bullet rattle around inside his Adamantium skull, there by destroying most if not all of his gray matter, that it would at least slow him down considerably if not kill him all together.

He's coming to the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign next Monday, Apr. 23rd at 6pm at the Krannert Art Museum (directions can be found on his calendar at www.scottmccloud.com). I don't think we'll be able to get his books there to sell, but if you bring your own, he'll be available for signing afterwards. Pass the word along, it'll be a great lecture. Any questions?
