Tat Wood wrote some of what you've just read in a tent while braving plague, wildfire, tornadoes, bison, and riots to explore some of the rest of North America in 2020. Believe it or not, this was safer than staying put on the New England coast. While he was delighted to discover how much tent technology has improved since he was in the Scouts, the experience brought back memories of an early form of FOMO when he discovered that everyone else was watching an omnibus repeat of "The Ark in Space" while he was wading through slime in Keswick. Lars Pearson has served as publisher and editor-in-chief of Mad Norwegian Press for (gulp) more than 20 years now. A former staff member at Wizard magazine, he now sagely comments on comic books on the Near Mint Condition channel on YouTube. The older he gets, the more he realizes that kindness begets kindness, and cruelty begets cruelty.
