I really don’t know…. And Larry was soooo salty about it … and very eccentric, he kind of spoke in riddles. So that was super disappointing.

I often hold the extreme point of view that most people credited with writing, inventing, finding stuff are all imposters/not the originators

This is so interesting! I love old books but I wasn’t around for Dr. Atomic, what about him got stolen? People selling unsanctioned t-shirts and stuff or did someone make a fan fiction lol?

I don’t think Thai Power was confused as the original, the confusion has been between the other versions.

I think his original art was being sold at auction houses without his permission somehow. He seemed really bitter about it.

Oh I see how that may rub him the wrong way but so odd as to not even want to discuss it! More power to him I suppose though, still some pretty cool art :grin:
