Hello there, and welcome to my brand-new weblog. My name is Jim McClain. I’m a recently retired teacher, having spent 35 years in public school classrooms, 31 as a full-time math teacher. I’m also a comic book creator, a childhood abuse survivor, a tabletop gamer, a dad, a husband, a baseball fan, a cartoonist, and at times I fancy myself a writer. I’d like to invite you along as I reflect on a full life, wearing many hats. I’m currently a substitute teacher collecting a pension, and I have a lot of time to think. Sometimes those thoughts turn into words, and this is where I intend to put them.
