Bill Mantlo read my story, and asked if he could use Liddleville in MICRONAUTS. Sure, I said. It would be cool to see the Micronauts finding themselves GIANTS in the tabletop town. "Yeah, sure," said Bill.

And then he played the robot population of Liddleville and the Micronauts as the same size, even tho I had established my characters as only a tiny fraction of an inch tall. The town at the Micronauts' scale would have covered several acres, not the small area shown.

He also got around my ending by simply ignoring it!!

Funny you should mention that. At the NYCC I was asked yet again why I don't teach, and as usual I said it was because my whole approach would be yelling "NO! NO! NO! DO IT RIGHT!!"

Which is how I imagine Logan would work in that position!
