 		[Hidden Page] Looking Closer at the Comic
Looking Closer at the Comic
Didn't think this needed spoiling as I feel this is a community effort and not a contest. But, to be on the safe side, for those who prefer not to know, I spoiled it.

I use the online version of Chasing the Wish. Several of the pages give hints that we can see Dale's notes which he has hidden at his website.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Then on the page with The Egg ad at the top and the ad for Synthasia Web Design at the bottom the first letters in the ad are ISEE

It's on the 16th page of book one, installment one. (click the next button 15 times) I don't know of a better way to give the page number and since I don't get the print version I don't know if the pages are the same.


Online version of Chasing The Wish comic book.

This might also be helpful.
The Creators

Also some SPECS:

Admit One anagrams to Dominate and Ash Grove Park contains the words Grave, Graves, Spark, OH. Don't know if any of this means anything or not but there it is anyway.

Regardless, it looks like Ash Grove Park is "Your Gateway to Another World of Fun."
And we need to find the rest of the notes Dale has hidden at his web site.

 		This page exists in the actual comic that some of us got in the mail. There is a puzzle in there, or should I say a message?

On the copyright page, there is text on the background. It is a couple of excerpts from:
HOMO SCHIZO I
Human and Cultural Hologenesis
by Alfred de Grazia
Copyright, 1983 by Metron Publications of Princeton NJ
Chapter 3, Mechanics of Humanization, Pages 102 and 103.
Quote:
Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844) advanced two important
ideas. One was that of saltation, the leap from one species to
another: "the first bird hatched from the egg of a reptile;" the
second was that atmospheric changes and other environmental
changes bring about speciation, particularly those "respiratory
fluids," which "sharply and strongly modify" animal forms
[31]. His treatment was cursory and unconvincing.

But today it is more apparent that atmospheric reactions are an
important factor in behavior. They might be an alternative or a
supplement to genetic mutation in transforming mankind. In
this case, Hominids 'X' are presumed to have an already
existing genetic capability of becoming human. They are
genetically preadapted to quantavolution. This genetic
capability is not exercised in the hominid condition because the
atmosphere contains a 'hominid mixture,' not a 'human'
standard. The oxygen may have been more or less ionized than
it is today, for example. The atmosphere may now be heavier
(or lighter) in solar or cosmic rays, certain gases, and other
chemical elements affecting biological behavior. Might some of
these conditions alter human conduct?

The evidence is strong that some or all humans would be
affected. Prevalence of unusual gases and metals in the
workplace affect workers with psychiatric symptoms, even
though they spend only a few hours their daily. One can
surmise from this fact that an enduring day-around condition
would bring about shortly a different norm of human mentation
and behavior.

In such cases, the changed constant would affect proto-humans
in a number of places around the world and humanization
would be a worldwide phenomenon of the age. Although I feel
that such changed constants have affected human history, I
doubt that they alone could have accounted for the emergence
of homo schizo. Therefore, I follow generally the model of a
single-shot mutation in humanization. Some cultural science
support for this position will be cited in the chapters to come,
diffusion of basic culture from a single point of origin, for
instance.

D.W. Patten has offered, as a geologist and creationist, several
hypotheses on atmospheric acquisitions from outer planets,
especially affecting the ozone and the nitrogen content of the
air, which would then alter the chemistry of growth and
longevity. He halts at this point [32]. Temporary or permanent
alterations in the gaseous and ion composition of the air could
potentiate an already existing physiology, especially via the
endocrinal glands and hormonal system. Both the solar and
cosmic 'constants' were inconstant during much of the primeval
period of humankind; even lately, though respecting smaller
deviations, the inconstancy of the solar and galactic winds has
come under study.

External events can introduce continuous and to some extent
permanent changes (operating as a new constant), if the events
and the conditions they bring about persist. So long as heavy
noise, air pollution, rapid movement, and other high-stress life
conditions of New Yorkers are constant, New Yorkers will tend
to have swollen adrenals. Or, so long as the proportion of
oxygen in the air of the High Andes is relatively low, the people
there will have unusually developed lungs. A connection of the
endocrinal system with megavitamin therapy has registered
effects upon schizophrenia through facilitating the
physiological discharge of adrenalin.

A diminished oxygen supply or incompatibility of oxygen type
in the atmosphere may introduce schizoid symptoms to some
part of the population. The brain needs oxygen not only to
survive but to energize neuro-transmissions throughout its
domain. In schizophrenics the oxygen level in the brain is
sharply lower than normal. Further, frontal lobe brain activity is
low. Thought dissociation may be produced by oxygen
deficiency in the frontal lobe.

A radiation storm; a material fall-out; a sweep-out or in-take of
atmosphere in transactions with extraterrestrial bodies; intense
electrical storms; and the dropping of canopies (opening of
skies) can drastically reform the atmosphere. They might
change atmospheric constants abruptly or over a period of time.


The odd thing is that the pages are presented out of order and it's not like a folding of pages or something

This is my best shot at a recreation of the text as it appears in the comic:

It's all proably nothing, but I thought I'd get it out there.
