I was feeling again like I had lost information overnight - as if my life was being uploaded to a divine database and somewhere along the line there was some angelic embezzlement. Lost time. Then a number - 113. Was it meaningful? "Oh just the amount of people you hacked to death with a machete - all in the space of a couple hours," a voice of conscience overtoned. I had time to think, to "mull" over the data like a forencist. "Hmmm...could be..." If so I was perhaps a very efficient assassin, a clumsy ninja and/or in a heap of legal troubles. "But isn't television a more enforced plane of legal reality than, say, the city where I keep myself? If my theories are correct, I may be the next tele-star for my exploits. Am I ready for this?" "Boggles," that schizophrenic part of my brain spoke out, "you're as ready as you'll ever be." <"This has been another dreamlike episode in the confused mind of Boggles Brown - before he takes his medication".> For this and many other episodes, get the 48 page Boggles Brown | My Cartoon Life book.
About Brad James - Boggles' "interpreter and facilitator". Brad James is a native of Guelph, Ontario and grew up in a working class Catholic environment. Everything seemed normal, even if he did sport weird hairstyles, engineer boots and black leather jackets which he would wear to high school. (Sometimes over top of his "Catholic School Uniform"). Brad eventually graduated from high school, then University with a Baccalaureate in Fine Arts. Trying to make ends meet as a graphic designer and other mitigating factors contributed to the onset of schizophrenia which is what he currently suffers from. Boggles Brown | My Cartoon Life book explores issues of mental illness, homelessness and the erosion of social morale in tough economic times. |
