W. Ron Cobb (the author of "Stumped by the Storyteller") should really really really be in charge of our new "hobby trade association"...........step aside, Marshall.............there's a new sheriff in town!

So I guess that means I move my copy of Cobb by Al Stump to the fiction section of my library.

Zach,

Absolutely, positively, YES! Without Cobb around to validate any of the stories in Stump's book. It will now forever be known as a work of fiction. Heck, if some old dictator decided to burn some books, I don't think you would get many complaints if it was thrown into the pile. The really sad part of this revelation, is that good old Al had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make a fantastic book about Ty. But he blew it! Stump's version might have made him some money and a little fame, but he threw away his integrity in the process (albeit, 50 years later)...

Lovely Day...
