well, even in Italian we say "drogato" for doped in both senses

Actually, that's not true:
"Doping silicon" is a term used when implanting silicon.
"Dope" is a common name for cannabis, and "getting doped" could mean a session of
taking this. There is also cellulose dope, which is a kind of sticky glue used to
turn tissue paper hard. (Used in balsa aeroplane making). The smell from this
stuff gets me high!

Graphic novels (or, as I prefer to call them, Big Comics...graphic novel is a
devalued term).

Corgi plan on bringing out TLF -- Innovation have just brought out the last
issue of it as a comic in the States.  I think it'll be towards the end of
'93.

I am also planning to do MORT -- The Big Comic for Gollancz's gr*ph*c n*v*l
series, but I don't know what deadlines we're going to work to on that yet.

There are no plans for any others.

You might want to check your local public library, which is where
I found Small Gods (not Lords and Ladies yet though). I found
SG here in Ottawa and have put myself on the waiting list at the
library for L+L.

Oh yeah, found Witches Abroad at the library as well. Good Luck.

Just a little food for thought (or Trolls)...

Silica Gel   -    Chemically activated silicon dioxide used to absorb moisture in containers of
                  electronic equipment (doesn't matter how technical the product, it ALWAYS says 
                  DO NOT EAT on the packet.
 
Liquid Crystal -  Crystal which is polarised in one direction upon the application of an electrical
                  charge to the (usually) transparent electrodes.

Quartz Crystal -  Used in the oscillator circuitry of every computer - wierd effects when this circuit
                  goes wrong!

Avalanche Diode - Heavily doped silicon produces a low width depletion layer. This causes a very abrupt
                  breakdown at a given voltage - these diodes don't mind the breakdown provided that
                  power dissipation is within their limits.

Tantalum        - A metal used in capacitor manufacture atomic number 73.
                  Early memories were capacitive or magnetic. There might be a nootropic drug analogy here.

Hall effect     - Weird effect in silicon when magnets are brought near (affects the conductivity
                  but I don't know the physics).

Bucket Brigade Delay - Type of delay line that passes serial electrical charges in a fire fighting
                  manner - made of silicon and produces delays of about 5 secs depending upon clock
                  rate.

Beta Blocker    - New range of drugs from the doctors' to cancel the effects of adrenaline and other
                  drugs that cause strange effects upon the brain via beta-receptors.

Possibly.  I'll post details as soon as it's all solid -- but apart from
Chicago, everything else isn't until the end of 93 or into 94.

I know the US is a big place, but flying the Atlantic is more of a hassle --
or to put it another way, getting to Gatwick/Heathrow (allow three or four
hours) checking in (up to two hours) and flying (six hours plus -- and that's
only to the east coast) is the hassle.  But I've just discovered that KLM
offer a nice service from Bristol airport -- at last I might have found a
gateway to the US!

which, of course, is near enough to "geranium" to give possibilities.

Or perhaps not (it's been one of those sort of days...)
