Well, Ari, he's got a beard and he gives us joy. :)
Fred - I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one feeling that particular way about FX. I think the first time I put those words to was when Wayne said that he was happy to hear somebody else saying that they were going to read this with their kids and that that was the intended audience for the story he wrote. As I pointed out then, I don't have any kids in the right age in my surrounding (given that they'äd either be to little or at least to young to understand English), but it does make me feel like one.
And speaking of that "feeling like a kid"... last week I believe I was bringing up Tarzan on another thread and requesting some help about trying to figure out/find a comic I vaguely remember from my childhood (then printed in Swedish to complicate things further). The other day I actually realised while browsing through some web pages that it wasn't a visit to Pellucidar which I had at first incorrectly assumed. It was a visit to Pal-ul-don. I saw the name suddenly in print and it jumped out at me. I did some more research and everything just clicked... and the best thing: a Swedish internet site had that particular story, in the Russ Manning adaption (which is most likely the one I read), available. And feeling that giddy remembering-what-it-was-like-to-be-a-kid sensation I placed my order and now await that trip down memory lane. Sorry about the slight thread drift, but given the feeling like a kid sensation that Wayne and JB can obviously bring out in others than just me, it did seem appropriate to share that thing here. :)
