Last month saw the publication of my DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains Fandex. Like any dutiful son, I sent copies home to my mother, seeing how she’d like to finally be able to brag about something I’ve done (instead of shake her head in shame). Needless to say, she was thrilled by the Fandex and started buying up copies to give to her friends, one of whom is a fellow Workman author, Ilene Beckerman. Ms. Beckerman was so inspired by the Fandex that she decided to make my mother her very own super hero Fandex entry. What’s my mother’s heroic identity, you ask? Luscious Lorraine. That’s right, Ms. Beckerman made it sound like my mother is a stripper. And, hey, that’s all right. As clearly identified on the custom Fandex card, in addition to being a mother, friend, and principal, Luscious Lorraine is also a sex icon. Since I’d prefer not to further delve into the nature of the friendship between Ms. Beckerman and my mom, I’ll leave it at that, and present you all with this one-of-a-kind Fandex entry.
So, thank you, Ms. Beckerman, for this amusing new perspective on my mother. If DC Comics doesn’t snap up the rights to this promising new character, I’m certain the folks in our Algonquin office will want to feature her in your next book.
And, Luscious Lorraine, thank you for sharing it with me. It’s quite probable I’ll now be sharing my therapy bills with you.
