"For almost four years now, I've basically been The Gazette's "closet journalist" - by no means a writer by even the most twisted definition of the word - but accorded precious newshole in the paper nonetheless.

How is it, you might ask, that a lowly newsroom artist with a lot of crap on his mind gets prime space in the region's largest rag to vent, fuss, fume and otherwise put forth the follies of his imaginings?

I dunno.

Blame Gary Svee. Blame it on Enron, a Harmonic Convergence of the Editors, or layers of SO2 seriously clouding someone's judgment.

Whatever. It's been fun. I wanted to see if I could do it, The Gazette gave me an open door, and I went in and did it (sort of).

But not without a LOT of help from you.

It's time to move on though, kids."
