EDITOR'S NOTE

Of course I wish we had the stories to go with the images. As with many visual artists, that's just not Gifford's thing. Writers rarely illustrate their dreams, either--at least not for publication. One or the other, never both, that's the rule!

Wise rule. Writing and drawing take years to master; it's rare to do both at all, let alone well. I break the rule, and pay the price--I fall short in both. Yet I go on smashing my head on the stone walls of my limits--chipping away at my own stupidity. Sigh!
