A compulsive sketcher with a love of comicbooks, film, and politics.  A tired, yet happy father.  His joy is tinged with cynicism; his sorrow with a laugh.  A balding, liberal long-hair who'd finish the job with a razor, but is in no rush to be thought a nazi biker from prison.  Twice the man you are, unless you weigh over 140 or are a woman.
