If I Am The Illustrated Man
I color the world~~for 'tis a pigment of my imagination
***The Illustrated Man was a short-lived comic character of the '60s who, as a boy, was saved by his parents who died when their boat they were all on, went over a waterfall, hence, when that boat came closest to land during strong river surges, his father had tossed him overboard to safety, but the current made it impossible to maneuver, ergo, their shouting words of love to their son, who already assumed the character known to them all, to be the illustrated boy. The oddity forced the family into a jungled life. In time, he grew into a man when love intervened when he met a girl who openly accepted him to be who he was. So ensues episodes of varied misdeeds where he comes to her aid.
