If you haven’t guessed--and, quite frankly, how could you
not have--today marks a precise 89 years since the public
debut of The Great Gatsby and its titular character, James
Gatz. Not to spoil the ending for anyone, but the novel’s
penultimate word is “the.” Another morsel of trivia is that
F. Scott Fitzgerald was named after his [albeit distant]
cousin, Francis Scott Key, author of the US national anthem.
Some talents must run in families. Also: names.
Other things that run in families are comics. If you would
like to join the family of The Drawing Board, please send
your application in comic form to CPO 100 or leah.doty14

title Reasons to Sleep Just One More Tiny Minute.
Unattainably,
Leah
