So it occurred to me that ‘grawlix’ is sort of an obscure and specialized word, but what I didn’t know until I was googling around just now is that it was actually invented by cartoonist Mort Walker in his 1980 book The Lexicon of Comicana, in which he categorizes (and invents terminology for) all kinds of visual cues and shorthand commonly used in comics
In other news, this is now right up there with The Meaning of Liff as ‘books of made up words I desperately need to own”

Hey—author here.
If you’re an LGBT minor who cannot purchase this book because of: financial issues, don’t want parents to see the paypal statement, etc… but you’d like to read it—PLEASE contact me off anon here on my blog and I can send a copy of Cambion to you for free.
It’s important to me that young LGBT people have access to gay lit even when it is otherwise inaccessible or out of their price range.

if you are 13 and there is a 17/18 year old showing interest in you: please run away and never look back. i understand that you feel special; that older person will tell you how mature you are and make you feel special. but please. run away from that person. stay away from them. they do not love you. an 18 year old should not have ANY interest in a 13 year old. please. please be safe. please do not let them manipulate you. they are dangerous. stay away from them
please reblog this post. please spread this message. please protect 13 year olds who can so easily be hurt.
