     R.Crumb's comic book page of Philip K. Dick. 

     Pretty cool, huh?

     Now that I know more about Philip K. Dick, this page makes more sense to me than it did years ago.

     Philip K. Dick is most famous for writing "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which became the basis for the 'Blade Runner' movie.
     Instead of giving up the rights to the original story, and have the movie novelized, he took $35,000 instead of the $200,000 they offered him.
     He thought the original story should remain, and he was right.

     I am pretty sure there are good wikipedia articles on both Philip K. Dick and R. Crumb.  I have not read those in a long time.  Maybe it is time for another look.

     Anyway, have a nice day, and keep your brain active.
