Hans Moleman
Looking at my bandaged face, Greg asked me, "Who did that to you?"
I visited a dermatologist to have a mole checked out this morning. I expected to be looked over and told that it was nothing. Or if there was something, I thought I'd be told to return. Well, the doctor told me that it was probably okay, but should be removed just in case. Then he had me lean back, injected me with pain-killer, sliced it off, and stitched me up! Now I look like someone socked me in the cheek.
FYI, there's an ABCDE checklist to consider when deciding if a mole is dangerous. You look for asymmetry, borders that are jagged, colors that are weird, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or elevation. Mine was just a different color than the rest--nothing compared to the crazy photos on the wall. Nonetheless, it's been removed and being sent to a lab to see if it's malignant. I wonder what they do with all those flaps of skin after they've been tested?

Martin,
I hope you're mole is O.K. I remember in
Hawaii when you were unloading magazines,
you hit the other side of your face. Please
take care.
By the way, will you guys be having a 50th
anniversary party when you get to issue #50?
50th anniversary party... We're working on 46 now so it's just around the corner.
Maybe we should order a cake or something?

How about a 50th anniversary issue?
It can show layouts from the
beginning. You know the b/w photo
in the MTV chi layout with you
and Eric? Are there anymore of
those. It think people would
like to see those.
Maybe we should start calling it the 50th issue. "Anniversary" makes it seem like we're in our 70s!
