Devlin has discovered a new passion - creating superhero comic books. He can spend hours drawing the characters, writing the storyline and stapling together his masterpieces. Since he stumbled upon this hobby, he has created comic books for each of his grandparents and mailed them out. He drew a comic book about Flash for Mommy (because I like Flash) and one of Spiderman for Daddy, since he knows Spiderman is Daddy's favorite superhero.
He is currently working on a story line involving Green Lantern. Usually, he is very proud of his work and when he bestows the final product on a chosen recipient, it is with great honour that this literary work is received. You see, Devlin's creations are one of a kind, and he also commissions each piece with the recipient in mind.
Today, Daddy discovered that Devlin has come to the realization that one's passion and talent can also earn a living, or at least some pocket change.
Devlin had spent the afternoon laboriously working on another comic book. He wouldn't let anyone actually see his work until it was finished. Then he showed it to his father.
"It's a book about Spiderman! Do you like it, Daddy?"
Daddy replied enthusiastically that he did indeed.
"Do you want it?"
Daddy agreed that he did want another one of Devlin's original works for his collection.
"That'll be two dollars please!"
Hustled by his own six year old!
