You should know that he also has claimed to family members that he created Borden's Elsie the Cow (which he did not...Google her.) He has claimed to have invented things for which he's not the inventor. For years he has had cartoons photocopied in washed out tones, then he inked and colored them, and signed them. We have some of them and consider them as forgeries. Most, if not all, of his Bio that is in publication and on the internet is self reported. He began by telling the family that he was an inker for Stan Lee, then in his stories he promoted himself to "original artist." So who knows what the truth might be. And did I mention: only a long-lost elderly family member could have conned us out of so much money. I know Marion.

If his health permits, it would be wonderful to have Mr. Sitton as an honored guest at a convention! Great piece on Marion Sitton.
