The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

From the caption on Page 53: "At this moment, Ultra-Boy, who can switch his ultra-energy into any single super-power, is using it for super-speed ..." The two-page scene then proceeds as I described it, above. Maybe yellow spacesuit pants were the latest fashion in 2965. Check out my new Power Club website!

Just how is Dxaundii pronounced, exactly? I've always assumed it's "Duck Sunday." Still "Fickles" to my friends.

There is a recent computer game designed as a sequel of sorts to Moby Dick called Nantucket. You play as Ishmael who, after a few years, cannot free his own mind of his experiences and sets out to be whaler himself. It is an interesting game that I quite enjoy.
