Books needed

A high school teacher in Florida is looking to put together a comic book curriculum for a course on comics. The book budget will likely be non-existent. He’s looking to score forty copies each of UNDERSTANDING COMICS and Parts 1 and 2 of MAUS, I presume either for as cheaply as possible or free.

Anyone who thinks they can help out, in whole or in part, please e-mail me at padguy@aol.com, and I’ll give you the specifics.

Thanks.

All hail the brilliant programmers at SHOWTIME.

Right now I have on, in the background while I work, the original 1936 film “Reefer Madness.” Immediately after that, they’re airing the new musical version (an adaptation of the Off-Broadway version which was more or less put out of business by 9/11) which I’ve already seen, and was hilarious.

If you’re reading this, are working or an insomniac, and have Showtime, and haven’t seen either film yet, put it on.
