Fri - March 5, 2004short storiesOkay, We've whittled down the story list to these
guys, plus the time travel story by Finney, which I'll get up Wednesday night or
Thursday afternoon.
...Roald Dahl is the guy who wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and he is also the guy who coined the term "Gremlin" during WWII. He was a fighter pilot in WWII and wrote two fantastic autobiographies about his experiences, one called "Boy" the other called "Going Solo."... He also has many books of just short stories, which these stories were culled from. Richard Matheson wrote many of the great Twilight Zone stories. He also wrote "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "I Am Legend", "Stir of Echoes", "Time After Time" all of which were made into films years ago. Again, a great short story writer. Jack Finney is a wonderful writer who wrote mostly about time travel. His greatest novel is "Time and Again", but he also wrote "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "Forgotten News". Our story, "Of Missing Persons" is from a collection of short stories called "About Time." These books are still in print and are worth the read. As I mentioned in class, if you see a time travel movie they will usually have a scientist named Finney as a tip of the hat to Jack Finney.

Design comic pages utilizing these shots and anything else you'd like to use to
spice up the storytelling visually.... How can comics be more effective than
film?
