“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To my surprise last Friday, October 21, I received a call from an old friend, Bill Ward, with whom I used to do comic books about 1940-2. He asked me to help him, probably on a regular basis, with some work, and I said yes. The work, involving inking, arrived Sunday. Wendell Crowley is a boyhood friend of Ward’s, and also an old friend of mine; he was my editor in New York City for some years after World War II. I was working with him in the early 1950’s. Also, see Session 290.

(On October 15, 10 days ago, I dreamed Jane and I moved closer to New York City so I could sell my paintings—or so I wrote, rather than comics for instance. In the dream I saw a big city skyline in the distance, beyond the small town we moved to. Bill Ward—not in the dream—lives in Ridgewood, NJ, a commuter town for New York City.)

All you wanted was the opportunity, once again you see, to decide whether or not you could use commercial art for your own purposes, and you created the opportunity for trial. Now, simply write this down. S. Period. C. Period. These are capitals. An office on 42nd street in New York City. A man with short gray hair, somewhat portly, but with a boyish-type face. He could end up as a Dutch uncle, as you say, if you continue with this sort of endeavor.
