The economy is FAR WORSE than the government is acknowledging. This holiday season, if you know folks struggling, don't be afraid to leave a mystery box of groceries or some gifts from Santa for the kids on their porch. Maybe drop a grocery store gift card in their mailbox.

I believe this was the final book length work of his storied career. (I know he did a handful of shorter works after but no grpahic novels)
