Creating Alaska: "All the 'toons that are (mostly) fit to print"

It's about Jamie Smith by the way

Last Sunday's edition of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (worth a ) had a really, really nice profile piece done about me by a long-time favorite local critic and one of the best freelance authors in Alaska, David James. A veteran of the Ester Republic days, he had to not only sluice through a big ol' heap of cartoon tailings to get to the, ah, nuggets of the story, but also endured a couple hours of listening to me talk at him an interview that was probably not unlike succumbing to journalistic hypothermia.
