Lain Hughes was not, as he likes to tell people, born in the
wagon of a traveling show. In fact, he was born in Oxford, Mississippi,
and grew up in the state capital of Jackson, which makes for a much less
interesting mental picture. His exact age is currently being determined
through a complicated procedure involving isotopes of carbon. In addition
to "Hippie and the Black Guy," Lain produced the now-defunct
comic strip "Pumpkin Shirt," which ran for almost three years
in The Daily Mississippian. It will surprise no one who has seen
his work that Lain does not make his living as a cartoonist. He is employed
as a high school teacher, which explains his recurring facial tics and
desperate attempts to escape into fantasy. When he's not corrupting young
minds, he reads, watches movies, and works on his as-yet-unfinished twelve-volume
history of Victorian watch fobs.
