Hunt Emerson

During my first trek to the largest comics festival in the world in Angouleme France where I presented a talk in the comics museum there on the first comic book printed in American titled The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck by Rodolphe Topffer, Wilson & Co, New York City, Sept 1842, and its then curator Thierry Groensteen mentioned to me the history books will have to be re-written, I was invited to a gathering of fans to celebrate Hunt Emerson's birthday party held every year he shows up. Most of us were very stoned, and this is what came out of the evening to grace my book, one of my favorites in the book.
