How I came to be undisputed ruler of Antarctica
   A comfort to the widow, a light to the child, Alixopulos descended to this plane in the late seventies and has been doing good deeds ever since. In 1995 his various charitable foundations were placed under trusteeship and he looked for a new way to raise money quickly. He published his first minicomic, NIL #1 and used the profits to fund a shipment of Bibles to Angola. Lacking talent, Alixopulos established himself as a titan of self-publishing through sheer force of will.
   Since these humble teenage beginnings Alixopulos has founded two multi-million dollar publishing concerns and ran them both into the ground with a $10,000 a day Twizzler habit. Despite the phenomenal success of such titles as STALIN FUNNIES, QUAGGA, and AGILE RABBIT, Alixopulos currently resides in a tar-paper shack on the edge of town (see photo below), and is in a legal battle over the rights to his own name, which at some point were signed over to DuPont. Any assistance you could offer should be directed to him at talixopulos (at) santarosa.edu He also welcomes your thoughtful comments and criticisms. Physical letters can be sent to ALIXOPULOS PO BOX 524 FULTON CA, 95439. Creditors, litigants and process servers should be aware that at no time does Alixopulos touch his mail, the substance of the information is conveyed to him through an elaborate network of intermediaries and Navajo 'windtalkers.'
