NP - Frank Miller's Charlie Brown

[kelber at mindspring.com]

This is a good site for an ATD discussion, far more accessible than slogging through the p-list archives, with its antiquated search engine:

I live in Brooklyn, but I'd say the most active p-listers are splattered pretty randomly around the US, with a slightly heavier concentration on the West Coast, and significant numbers in Europe.
