I suppose it is a good story in many ways... It has a ROMANTIC INTEREST (boy gets computer boy loses computer, boy gets computer) and a 3 act structure... though I don't think the tale passes the ROBERT McKEE test because the PROTAGONIST (me) is saved by a "deus ex machina" plot device (Tatooed Avenger) rather than by any heroic actions of his own. Brian>>daBRAWN! thanks for coming by! James2>>Yes yes yes.... backups... I have learned that lesson alright. Ted>> I can't wait either... but we'll have to hold on till April/March 2007.

Wow! The image of you barreling down the streets of the Tenderloin is now burned in my brain--that and the Goodfellas style beating the crook got from tatoo guy. So glad to hear you got the laptop back. Can't wait to see your finished book--the paintings are amazing! -T Unbelieveable story Jamie! Wow! The image of you barreling down the streets of the Tenderloin is now burned in my brain–that and the Goodfellas style beating the crook got from tatoo guy.

Yes, I still laugh about those BadAss guys spending so much time and effort dishing out retribution to people residents of a country THEY had decided to visit. Its one of my favourite stories - along with the one of us having huge chunks of drugs (or explosives) planted under our bus seats while we passed the police checkpoint into Lima. Ohh my how differently that could have ended. Anyway glad to hear all is well and that have the means to backup.

Had to come and check out your account of it. Great story with an audience-pleasing third act. I'd love to see it as an autobiographical comic. BTW, love the color technique you've come up with for these elephant illustrations. Take care. I heard Dan’s retelling of this story this morning. Had to come and check out your account of it.

A terrifying lesson for all us laptop/computer users. Back it up! Glad this story had a happy ending to it. It's pretty comforting to know that people will help out given the right opportunity.
