CURRENT & NOTABLE: I continue
to write the Jughead comic book for Archie Comics, as well as the
syndicated Archie newspaper comic strip (The Archie strip appears
daily at Archie's own web site).
Top comics columnist Tony Isabella has written two very nice reviews
of my work on Jughead in his on-line column. You can read the latest one
HERE. The
previous column, from January of '98, can still be seen HERE.

BUST: That's personal!
WEIGHT: 7.5 lbs. when born
SIGN: Virgo
BIRTH DATE: August 30, 1955
BIRTHPLACE: Wilmington, Ohio, former home of the Bengals Training
Camp. It's also the town where Pete Matthews and I saw a person in a Winnie
The Pooh costume dance out of a Sears store with a pot of honey on his head.

SEE ALSO: CRAIG'S VIDEO REVIEW DU
JOUR
FAVORITE PERFORMERS: Bill and Hillary; The Beatles.
FAVORITE FOODS: "Dippin' Dots, the Ice Cream of the Future,"
and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."
FAVORITE SPORTS: I'm very good at balancing things, such as broomsticks,
on my finger. You should see it! I can also do that trick where I pile a
stack of quarters on by elbow and then snatch them real quick, like that
guy did on that episode of "Happy Days."
FAVORITE PLACE: I keep returning to the Pacific Northwest. That's
where I found the "Cameo Cafe, Home of the Acre Pancake!"
On the other hand, it's also the place where the "International
House of Pancakes" bolted the door when they saw us coming. And,
it's where we went to that "Denny's" where they shortchanged
me on the number of pancakes I was supposed to get, and left me sitting
with a spoonful of butter in my hand for twenty minutes. And what we had
to do to find an "Elmer's" that served corn pancakes! And
then there was that breakfast place with the hair... Don't get me started!
IDEAL WOMAN: Betty Rubble.
IDEAL EVENING: Eating my favorite foods with my ideal woman at
my side as we watch my favorite sports waiting for my favorite movie to
come on as my favorite performers read to me from books by my favorite authors.
SECRET FANTASY: To be a Smothers Brother.
BIGGEST JOY: Almond.
