The Concrete story I just inked is set in one -- Haleakala, on the island of Maui. Here's Concrete going down a lava tube (the volcano has long been inactive) to investigate what sounds like a human voice.
The panel where Maureen and Larry look at each other with worry has sound effects of Concrete crashing off the walls and to the floor of the passage.
My dad lived on Maui for a while. Visiting him there was always heavenly, except the time I fell down a small waterfall and concussed myself, creating a temporary problem with short-term memory.
My late sister used to say we're all born geniuses, but each time we bang our heads we drop a bit of IQ. I half believe her.
Can't wait! I've been enjoying the regular blogging: thanks.

Very excited for this! When does it come out?
p.s. - did you ever go to Teddy's Burgers in Hawaii?

Very cool, and the idea of "Concrete and a volcano" evokes many classic Concrete stories in which the dramatic possibilities of a setting are explored.

Oh dearest me... it is so good to see those familiar faces once again. Oh Ron, Larry and Maureen. How I have longed to hear your clever linguistics dance within my mind's eye. I am very happy to see you working again Paul, both your literary and illustrated escapes are both astonishing as well as inspiring. Keep up the marvelous work! I currently have all Seven of your concrete trade paperbacks as well as a copy of The World Below. A cracking good read albeit a tad surreal (That's the old Paul we all know and love!) Thank you for the imaginative adventures you have created over the years! I simply cannot wait to see what you conjure up next!

Oh good, more Concrete. I been living in a cave for the past few months so didn't know.
I remember the story of you falling down the waterfall. You did a drawing of it for me that I still have. Although terrifying, it still made me laugh.

That’s very kind of you.Thanks for your sharing yourecco shoes sale.Now pls enjoy my saying. New Arrivals another small word of warning or procedure, used for a few days. It’s not the shoes you just drag and drop the store and carry around that time. You’ll notice the pandora charms bracelets online sale that do not use it to start earlier, pain during the first use, as you walk every day, especially if you’re on my feet (no, if the effect was not so bad). But apart from yesterday when I wear my pandora charms bracelets , I can not wear ecco clarks shoes in the next week.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change . they push the human race pandora charms bracelets, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, because the ecco New Arrivals who are enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
