RAW Week: a letter from Robert Anton Wilson (1991)

I always liked getting letters from Robert Anton Wilson. He enjoyed playing with the fonts on his Mac. In this letter, he thanked me for sending him a copy of my self-published comic book, Toilet Devil (which was the name that Koko the Talking Ape called people she was upset with).

Today I learned that the right reverend Mark F. and I lived within a few block of each other in 1991. Huh. Small world made all the smaller by the tubes.

I confess I am not well read on Mr. Wilson, but I did enjoy the Illuminati card game by Steve Jackson Games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati_%28game%29

Is that well-preserved thermal paper?

Tangentially, I was surprised to find a copy of a comic-book adaptation of Illuminatus! as I inventoried my collection a couple years ago. My dad must have bought it; he used to take me to the comic shop when I was little.

I investigated further; IIRC only two issues were ever pubished.
