Notes by ART

When Adam was 5 years old there was an illustrated children's booklet made about him: LITTLE BOY BIGFOOT. It was drawn by a friend of ours from the Lost Lake crowd, artistic name "3R", probably best known for his epic science fiction/fantasy graphic novel ARMAGEDDONQUEST. He'd known us all for years so he could easily visualize and illustrate a story about Adam.

The booklet was based upon a 5 Years Birthday Party. Adam and Melly always held theirs together, since they shared the same birth date: June 21, the Summer Solstice. That children's party became a minor media event because Adam was famous as "the Baby Bigfoot of Monroe".

More recently, 17 years after that booklet, 3R happened to be visiting us at the Hacienda just as some federal agents also came by to officially observe the operations of our Nokhon Nation Project, since we had applied for a government grant. 3R found himself sketching the scene, and a few weeks later he delivered these pages to us. As it was a basically accurate visualization of that incident and fit well into our own narrative, we decided to present it as Chapter 35 of our Document, just to offer an interesting variation.
