FRANK ZAPPA - ZAPPA TO HEAD DISNEY'S COMIC BOOK EMPIRE

FRANK ZAPPA's son AHMET has been hired to run Disney's Kingdom Comics
after movie studio executives previously bought the rights to a graphic
novel he started writing when he was just 12.

Disney now owns the movie rights to The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty
MCFearless, which was published in 2006 - and the deal has led to much
bigger things for Zappa.

He says, "The Mouse (Disney) won't let me say just yet what exactly
we've got up our sleeves, but I can promise you... it's gonna rock."
Zappa, who was previously married to Hellboy star Selma Blair, reveals
he became devoted to comics as a child because they helped him get to
grips with dyslexia.

He tells Royal Flush magazine, "Comics first got me reading... I fell in
love with the pictures and the stories.

"I designed MCFearless for dyslexics like myself with tons of images, to
really engage the reader on every page and make the reader want to know
how these images connect. I actually drew 300 monsters for that purpose."

If that is an honest 'ponderment', you've overlooked the heading with
which I introduced that text: "Related media and links on webpage:"

Look up the word 'dive' in the dictionary.
After the initial definitions regarding
aquatic and aeronautical topics, you'll
see a photo of this joint.

Never mind. I just figured out / remembered that this must be referring
to JCB.
