  "Why are you here to insult me again!" Moaned Dr. Alexander. 
  "No Astra, Queen of Vampires had a vision on a crime scene!" said Lance. 
  "What's new my granddaughter is a medium!" Dr. Alexander moaned. 
  "But what she saw wasn't real!" said Lance 
  "Then why tell us, if it is not real!" said Dante who was trying to clean the blood off the pages of the bloody papers. 
  "What did she see?" asked Dr. Alexander. 
  "A white raven sitting on a human skull blood running from the nose hole of the skull in a dark place," said Lance turning white. 
  "It means you Dad your symbol is a white raven, the skull symbol of death." 
  "What is that meant to mean?" said Dante. 
  "Blue Midnight is going to die or I am King of the grim reapers!" snapped Blake shortly. 
  "What about the bloody nose?" asked Dante. 
  "Blood of death!" said Lance. 
  "What does that mean!" said Dante. 
  "There will be blood!" said Blake. 
  "Don't be a drama queen!" scoffed Lance. 
  "It's just an omen they happen someone is trying to reveal me, the Emperor of the solar system as a grim reaper!" Blake moaned, "and my blood relatives! Wouldn't put it past this guy on the slab! He has the motivation and he didn't know Astra was one of my kin who knew who I was! Come with me you two!" a portal of darkness swirled in the air.

  Political Gumbo

  A sharp-witted, wide-ranging collection from Walt Handelsman, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning. Walt Handelsman’s nationally syndicated editorial cartoons have touched on international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, and this gallery of his work is both pointed and poignant. He has covered world dramas from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square with incredible depth in a single frame, and his humor shines through his commentary on presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, campaigns. And his caricatures of Louisiana notables like Governor Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke have made it to op-ed pages far beyond the state.  This collection showcases the insightful comic sensibility and style that have earned him, in addition to his Pulitzers, two Headliner’s Club Awards, a Society of Professional Journalist’s Award, and a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award.

  The fourth volume of this retrospective anthology covers the Pulitzer prize-winning cartoon strip from 2000 to 2010. 
   
  On October 26, 1970, G.B. Trudeau introduced the world to a college jock named B.D. and his inept and geeky roommate, Mike Doonesbury. Fourteen thousand strips later, Doonesbury has become one of the most beloved and acclaimed comic strips in history. Over the years, the world of Doonesbury grew uniquely vast, sustained by an intricately woven web of relationships—over forty major characters spanning three generations.  
   
  The complete 40: A Doonesbury Anthology presents more than 1,800 comic strips that chart key adventures and cast connections over the last four decades. Dropped in throughout this rolling narrative are twenty detailed essays in which Trudeau contemplates his characters, including portraits of core characters such as Duke and Honey, Zonker, Joanie, and Rev. Sloan, as well as more recent additions, such as Zipper, Alex, and Toggle. Trudeau also includes an annotated diagram that maps the mind-boggling matrix of character relationships.  
   
  This fourth volume of the four-volume e-book edition of 40 covers the years 2000 to 2010 for the celebrated cartoon strip.
