Heroes
I wouldn't call Barack Obama my hero, but I think he's the best chance we have to save this country right now ... otherwise, I fear we're screwed.
Hi there! I'm Jonathan Switzer. I am a writer, artist, and semi-renowned ROBOTECH nerd. I was one of a few contributing writers on The Art of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (the big full color guide to the 2007 animated feature, published by Stone Bridge Press), I personally compiled the continuity notes that appear in the backs of the 2007 editions of the Jack McKinney ROBOTECH novels based on The Robotech Masters and The New Generation storylines, and I wrote a comprehensive article on the history of the ROBOTECH franchise for Protoculture Addicts magazine (issue #94, Nov-Dec. 2007). So clearly that's something I know a lot about, or at least I've managed to convince someone of that.
Currently I write & draw a weekly action/sci-fi comics serial called Scwonkey Dog based upon characters and storylines that've been taking up space in my head and growing in complexity since the time I was about three years old. I figured, if I don't let them out now, they'll drive me mad. A link to the relevant website is below.
I know how you feel. I went through the same thing when I worked at Albertsons back in Hobbs, NM. But I had to do it in order to get paid, the benefit of having a job.
BTW, I'm postponing my job search until next month. I'll explain at a later date.
