  • 11. The Reverend Dr. vs Job – from Rebel Max’s Journal

    I don’t consider myself to be a dreamer, or particularly imaginative. I like to stick to facts when I’m able. It annoys me when my boss says things to me about my value, that I am too expensive for menial work, like processing new clients. To me that is a flight of his imagination; that…

    I was at my parent’s house recently, looking through my old family photo album. Most of the pictures from my youth are in Ladoga; the city has changed a lot in the past 20 years or so and many of the backdrops in the pictures have ceased to exist. The playground from pictures of me…

    It happens at various times throughout the year that the city’s East and West Sides throw aside petty division in order to unite as Ladogans. Sporting events generally inspire unity all around the city as the eponymous high school has students from both sides of town (excluding those on the outskirts of the east and…

  • Old Man Young and the Bronx Avenger Issue 1 Super-Sized One-Shot

    The Flashback Detective Paul Young is not the athletic man he once was. Now approaching fifty-five, he is in better shape than most, but he embarrassed himself at the annual softball game between the Knoxville Police and Fire Departments after he missed his first two pitches and threw his back out on the third, which…

  • 7. Importance of Voting/The First Three – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    North Carolina was a Jim Crow state, until it wasn’t; and then, in order to change its voting laws, the state’s legislators were forced to take it up with the Justice Department, until they didn’t have to anymore. Many said this would lead to unfettered voter suppression; old people, minorities, and poor people would face…
