There has been some objection to my continuing to calculate a clothing allowance for D. into the wages allotted to her parents. It is true that it intensifies the irrational Catholic guilt they already feel, keeping their daughter’s clothing money in their pockets while she lives her days permanently unclothed. However whenever an exception is made to the allotted wages formula unforeseen problems tend to arise. Her parents will eventually think of other ways to spend the allowance for her benefit.

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!
