More and more I realize that in my writing I just find out what happens next. ![]() I wasn’t choosing the way as an author, I was taking dictation, as it were-finding the story as it happened.

Footage of Ron DeSantis' 2018 debate prep sessions reveal his thoughts on dealing with Donald Trump. Failed gubernatorial candidate and election-denier Kari Lake, who won Trump’s endorsement, has hinted she will run for Senate on the Republican ticket. McConnell did not yet have a clear plan for Arizona, where independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema has not yet announced if she will run for reelection. But he does think that having Trump as a nominee could help Republicans win Senate battles too.

Digitally colored and boldly lined pencil cartoons against cream-yellow background space put Willy and his feline housemate Earl (who has a marvelously blank, inscrutably entitled cat face) firmly in the forefront of the story. Bobo helps him, specifically, to confront dubious, possibly "bitey" bugs, go down the playground slide and walk past large dogs (friendly doggy smiles notwithstanding). ![]() Willy, the protagonist of this small domestic drama, is perfectly, appropriately self-absorbed, as he is barely out of toddlerhood and, as his monologue reveals, he relies on his sock monkey, Bobo, to help him negotiate the challenges of being so young. ![]() ![]() Now, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ARCHIVES, a thrilling series of upscale reprints, lets you revisit Sonic's early days in a premium yet affordable format.
