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.

One or the other, never both, that's the rule! True, I break it--but fall short in both. Writing and drawing are difficult arts; it's rare to do both at all. Let alone well. But at least I go on smashing my head on my own limits--chipping away at the stone of my own stupidity.
