What a stunning description of your, Sister Helen's and everyone working on the Graphic Display Novel. On Thursday night, I saw a powerful film about the Rehabilitation Through Arts program at Ossining Prison. The movie is called "Sing Sing," and I rank it very high in my list of important portrayals of human loss and struggle. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for this recommendation, Jane. Sister Helen visited Sing Sing last year when the men sang as the chorus while Met stars performed works from the opera of Dead Man Walking.

I love the central idea particularly and how US libel laws are so much better than here with your utterly true comments on Trump and Landry. As for colour, I got away with it in my Honours thesis (mellifluous was one comment) so why not for the graphic novel?

Melliflous is such a fine word, Rob!

What a beautiful and powerful description of the need to protect human rights and dignity, Rosie. The efforts will always be needed. I’m proud of you for being a very serious advocate for human rights.

What beautiful words you wrote! I have a son on Texas death row and these words gave me comfort. Thank you for all that you do!

Hello Brenda. I am so sorry that your son is on death row. What a terrible burden for you both to bear. It humbles me that my words are a solace to you. Best wishes to you and to your boy.
