Not many people have an alter ego. I mean, superheroes do, but they're not real people. Well, most of the time. I'm one of the few and the proud who does have my own alter ego. His name is Dan, and he's a comic strip character. In fact, he's the star of the comic strip. This isn't quite as narcissistic as it sounds; it's all Fred McCann's idea. And besides, he's more a caricature than an accurate representation. Anyway, the image map on the title page comes from the strip, and you can check out the strip at Slacker 64.
