SAM: Hey--what's goin' on here?!?
KATHY: Well... while I'm typing Maxx Traxx and Head to Head, I thought I might as well type myself into the book.
S: Why now and not before?
K: Aw gee-- it's your book. You thunk it up, you draw it, you write it. I don't wanna just be suckin' off your fame...
S: Horse pucky! You've been with me for almost 20 years--married for 15. You deserve a purple heart for that alone! Besides, Head to Head was your idea in the first place, and you still sort it and type it...
K: And misspell names...
S: You organize all the fan mail for me to read, type Maxx Traxx, proof it when it's ready to print--
K: And misspell names and lose addresses...
S: Help Ronna lay out the schedule for every issue, pay the bills, get on my butt when I'm falling behind--
K: ...daily...
S: And now, since Issue 30, you type my scripts to send to the letterer, and proof 'em when they're done.
K: And misspell names...
S: Get OVER it! People misspell "Kieth" all the time.
K: Yeah-- but now they won't be able to email us if they do! So what else do you have to say about me, now that I'm out of the closet?
S: Well, I think your new title, "Head Gardener," is perfect. You've always thought Maxxheads were wise and witty and well-worth "cultivation". And, on a good day, you take all the sh*t I hand you and compost it into pure gold.
K: Yeah, then the rest of the year we scream and pout like every other couple. Weren't Mickey and Dude about us?
S: Naw--don't look for parallels there...well...not too many...
K: It's true--I did throw away my "Safety Bob" several weeks ago. But as for your crayons...
S: Very funny.
