Upon discovering my lecture on Native Americans in pop culture at the University of Central Oklahoma, a reporter for the Journal Record, "Oklahoma's leading resource for Oklahoma business news and legal information," contacted me for an interview to find out more about my book, Native Americans in Comic Books and my business, alterNative Media.
Despite warnings of my true physical appearance, they even sent out a photographer (poor thing) to catch me 'in the act' at my studio.
Here is an image of the article that appeared in the Journal Record, Tues. FEB 10, 2009 (avert your eyes, children...!).
