GRIMES:  "Frickles" is peculiar enough and established my approach from there on, but I didn’t quite nail the way the little babbling man really looked. Only memory to go on - he was quite real, as the letter, printed in #8, laid out - but he was sitting next to me, not in the view presented in the dream.  The letter Rick printed in #8, was sent to him, as the Frickles pages’ strange background; I had no notion he would print it. Consequently, a few of the words are wrong or I seem garbled; at the end, I was trailing up the side of the letter, not expecting a typesetter would have to read it., I have no artwork in #8. Just the letter."  -- Rick Grimes (December 22, 2008).
