Michael, I did indeed enjoy "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". But don't remember much about it. [If I have the right author]. I guess my main influences were Carl Barks, Enid Blyton, Catch 22, MAD Magazine, Don Camillo adventures, 1984, Wuthering Heights and whatnot. I never could get into Shakespeare [everything ended in death and inglorious tragedy].

I wonder whether they create the mind or the mind seeks out matching literature. It's the old causal/correlation thing. Those in authority would ban such books as they obviously pollute young brains with wayward ideas. A Clockwork Orange, good old Stanley Kubrick, dealt with that.

Carl Barks was King of Kings.
