Sequel to the Best Fan Letter of All Time


Dear Abraham Superlincoln (again),

My two through four favorite books are these: Wonderstruck (Brian Selznick), The Invention of Hugo Cabret (Brian Selznick), and The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien). Although, I do very much like Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich and Other Stories You’re Sure to Like Because They’re All About Monsters and Some of Them are Also About Food. You Like Food Don’t You? Well All Right Then.
We love the Dracula with spinach between his teeth and the Phantom of the Opera.

In fact, my two friends Adam and Ian K. are writing a book of short stories inspired by your Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich and Other Stories You’re Sure to Like Because They’re All About Monsters and Some of Them are Also About Food. You Like Food Don’t You? Well All Right Then.. They’re short stories not poems, mind you. Sorry. So far, I’ve written one called When the Man in the Moon Had to Blink. It was written by guub in co-op with Equivalent Fractions. Ian K. wrote a sequel to Godzilla Pooped on my Honda. It was written by Ian K. in co-op with Miss Prime Minister. Adam wrote a story about why Medusa cut her hair.
I’ll try and send the stories once we finish them.

Your most likely #1 fan (I don’t think anybody is more fanly then me),
Gargantuan Space Scum

I am fortunate enough both to live in Tucson and to be longtime friends with Gargantuan Space Scum's mom and dad, Mr. and Mrs. O. If I can be a go-between for getting Mr. Scum any signed copies or art, I would be happy to do so. Do you have any signing events coming in the near future?

Oh, I wish you'd asked me twelve hours ago, when I still could have directed you to a Free Comic Book Day signing event at Heroes and Villains. But we could totally meet up sometime if you wanted to get something signed for Ian. Email me at adamrex (at) earthlink (dot) net.

Isn't obvious that Gargantuan Space Scum is really Mac Barnett?
