Jim Simpson - Thank you for making my day.

Patry - I agree. The bone-held ponytails were awesome. But how did the bone stay in? (Aurelio? Can you maybe draw us a diagram as to how this works?)

Myfanwy - Broke my heart, too.

Susan, I did see! I think you two are tied. :)

Jordan’s post this week broke my heart. She’s very dear.

I didn’t like cartoons much growing up either–though I loved Pebbles, and thoroughly admired Wilma and Betty’s bone-held pony tails. My two youngest kids aren’t cartoon people either. We want our reality straight and unvarnished–or something like that.

Anyway, I have to agree with everyone about Lit Park. It really IS the place where writers come to play–as if we don’t play enough already!

Where do you come up with this fantastic, funny stuff week after week? Sounds like you were quite an original kid, and you’re certainly a one-of-a-kind adult! Thanks for making Lit Park an enjoyable part of my weekly, writerly reads.

I’ve linked you on my blog and am continually amazed that Lit Park is the #1 “outclick” on my weekly SiteMeter roundup.

Robin - Yep, I lifted that beauty right off your site. It’s like plunking a little piece of heaven into the middle of my blog.

Carolyn - Doesn’t he have a fine blog?

Myfanwy - The cutest kid ever might be over on Jordan’s blog this week. Did you see? I have everyone on RSS feed now, which makes me bad about commenting because it adds a step. I should go comment.

Jason - It’s great to have you here!

Thank you so much for that kind review. The community spirit around this site leaves me speechless.

I’m always looking for new friends and new writers to feature, please send suggestions when you visit!

Most importantly, great speculative fiction post, I’m so excited that I’m going to the bookstore on my lunch break.

I would most like to endorse Noria’s picks–especially Angela Carter. She changed the whole way I look at fiction. Great list

Your childhood reaction to such nutty cartoons as The Flintstones is much like my adult reaction to half of what comes out of Hollywood.

Going of to check Jason’s blog now.

I love reading about your childhood and seeing your photos, Susan. And err..speaking of photos…what did you do, lift that Gaiman photo from my private stock? Ha!

I really enjoyed this week’s topic and being turned on to new writers in a genre that I, too, “snubbed” as a kid. Now I’d like to live in fantasy world full time. And you’d better believe the authors mentioned write literature…damn, they are some of the best writers around.

Your kids have good taste. Terry Pratchett rocks!
