There is (was?) an artist named Frederick S. Fudala, somewhere in upstate New York, who (a long time ago) was on deviantart and created this drawing which I “embedded” into “‘Tami Smithers Was Here’” on the writingsofleviticus site. It’s called “Druuna’s Ascent”, a tribute to the graphic novel character created by Paolo Serpieri. As I recall Mr. Fudala’s original comment was: “I picture Druuna, having been stripped by a gang of thugs, escaping by scaling this cliff, only to find herself thrust into yet another peril which she will have to deal with while naked.” It fits in with Tami’s plight in general, and in particular her scaling the cliff to get away from teenage toughs at the end of Part 29 of “‘Tami Smithers Was Here’”. Fred, I’ve been trying to find you for years, please contact me!

new Tami Smithers story

Two new pieces in four days. It’s easy to write with my new, fast keyboard. It’s a Corsair and gets a lot quieter once you install rubber O-rings under the keys (easy to do and cheap). Also I’m now using FocusWriter. Standard word processors are too feature-heavy. I’ve long used Notepad but it doesn’t recognize symbols or “smart quotes". FocusWriter hits the sweet spot for me.

The new “story” (it’s not really that) is called “Tami’s So-Called Life: Episode Guide”. I imagine it can spawn further similar pieces. Click on “Tami Smithers” under “Stories” above, or the direct link is https://www.donnylaja.com/tami-s-so-called-life-episode-guide

As always, let me know what you think. Either reply to this post or, if you wish to stay anonymous, you can comment at the box above. Thanks for reading!
