Panthertown Trip

I just returned from a two-day trip to Panthertown Valley in western North Carolina. I'll post details later. It has historically been one of my favorite places in the mountains, but I fear that it has become too popular. I go to such spots for solitude, and I'm not sure it can be found there these days. At least not as it was when I first discovered the valley.

Nope! I treat my old comics with great care. I have picked up some really good old comics in the past couple of weeks, so I'll be posting some essays on those.
