Those Yerflings who were watching last year know that Howie gave me a slug (who had a feature role in a comic he drew) for a birthday present. (See same_bth.jpg) I didn't know he was going to do that. Turns out there were quite a few things I didn't know about the slug creature. But Happy Birthday anyway, Howie. :) (And Mr. Furness, too, to whom Howie is © )
