American actor and singer, Michael Dunn (born Gary Neil Miller) arrived on this date in 1934 in Shattuck, Oklahoma. When he was four, his family moved to Dearborn, Michigan. Parents Jewell and Fred championed his right to live and develop openly, as part of mainstream life, defying repeated pressures from school authorities to send him to a school for disabled children. An early reader, he was a champion speller, showed an early aptitude for the piano, and developed a lyric baritone and was given to crowd-drawing impromptu public performances even while just waiting for a bus. He ice-skated and swam in childhood, remaining a skilled swimmer throughout his life.

It's going to depend on if I have employment. Plus, it's on a Saturday, when I have to take the wife to work just before 5am and pick her up around 1pm. So if I do participate, that's gonna take a chunk of time out of it.

Realistically judging my illustration skills, though, I anticipate I'll be using my computer for too much of the process, and I won't want to try to load my tools onto my wife's laptop and also deprive her of that use for a day. None of that would address issues of printing and/or scanning.
So, at this stage I'm expecting to be doing it solo if I'm going to do it. That's 3 1/2 weeks away (and also happens to be the next Legends deadline, so I'll need to get that out of the way), so I'll make my decision about it once I'm close enough to that weekend to be reasonably sure it'll be clear.
(Glad to see you've made it back to the keys.)
As for 24 Hour Comics Day I'll have a much better idea of whether or not I'm going to be able to swing that... about three weeks from now. If I do it I'll scan and post the results.
I'll look forward to updates on topic. Honestly.
