Rest in Peace, Bruce Loose. Flipper was the band that opened the door for me. They saved my life.

This morning I cut up and organized the original pages for King-Cat 84... Figured out the page order. Was delighted and relieved that I ended up with exactly 48 pages, so no last minute scrambling. 1/4
