Mr. Kolkman has the temerity and gall to create and syndicate two untested,
unproven weekly comic strips:
"One Girl" is an immature comic strip for all ages.
"Things from Nowhere" is a mature comic strip for all ages.
After all, in the sparking darkness of the magician's night, there is room
for more than one spark!
