Chicago has budgeted about 18 million dollars for salt for the winter 2022. And the city gets all that salt from one vendor: Morton Salt. Now, the company's iconic warehouse is getting transformed into a multi-use development, including a music venue called “The Salt Shed.” In this episode historian Paul Durica traces the history of Chicago's salt industry and tells us how some of that history will be preserved in the new concert space.

Chicago's newest music venue, the Salt Shed, opens this summer on the site of the iconic Morton Salt factory on North Elston Avenue. Reset talks to two music writers about the Salt Shed's lineup and how music venues are doing right now as the omicron surge wanes.

Justin Kaufmann from Axios Chicago joins Bruce and Judy to chat about today's headlines around Chicago. The Morton Salt building is part of a new mega-development, and there may even be a new neighborhood in the city. That and more from around the city.

Teleprinters, sometimes referred to as teletypes based on the dominance of the Tyletype corporation in their hayday, are devices that send or receive written transmissions over a wire or over radios. Those have evolved over time to include text and images. And while it may seem as though their development corresponds to the telegraph, that's true only so far as discoveries in electromagnetism led to the ability to send tones or pules over wires once there was a constant current. That story of the teletype evolved through a number of people in the 1800s. The modern telegraph was invented in 1835 and taken to market a few years later. Soon after that, we were sending written messages encoded and typed on what we called a teletype machine, or teletypewriter if you will. Those were initially invented by a German inventor, Friedrich König in 1837, the same year Cooke and Wheatstone got their patent on telgraphy in England, and a few years before they patented automatic printing. König figured out how to send messages over about 130 miles. Parts of the telegraph were based on his work. But he used a wire per letter of the alphabet and Samuel Morse used a single wire and encoded messages with the Morse code he developed. Alexander Bain developed a printing telegraph that used electromagnets that turned clockworks. But keep in mind that these were still considered precision electronics at the time and human labor to encode, signal, receive, and decode communications were still cheaper. Therefore, the Morse telegraph service that went operational in 1846 became the standard. Meanwhile Royal Earl House built a device that used piano keyboards to send letters, which had a shift register to change characters being sent. Thus predating the modern typewriter, developed in 1878, by decades. Yet, while humans were cheaper, machines were less prone to error, unless of course they broke down. Then David Edward Hughes developed the first commercial teletype machine known as the Model 11 in 1855 to 1856. A few small telegraph companies then emerged to market the innovation, including Wester Union Telegraph company. Picking up where Morse left off, Émile Baudot developed a code that consisted of five units, that became popular in France and spread to England in 1897 before spreading to the US. That's when Donald Murray added punching data into paper tape for transmissions and incremented the Baudot encoding scheme to add control characters like carriage returns and line feeds. And some of the Baudot codes and Murray codes are still in use. The ideas continued to evolve. In 1902, Charles Krum invented something he called the teletypewriter, picking up on the work started by Frank Pearne and funded by Joy Morton of the Morton Salt company. He filed a patent for his work. He and Morton then formed a new company called the Morkrum Printing Telegraph. Edward Kleinschmidt had filed a similar patent in 1916 so they merged the two companies into the Morkrump-Kleinschmidt Company in 1925 but to more easily market their innovation changed the name to the Teletype Corporation in 1928, then selling to the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, or AT&T, for $30M. And so salt was lucrative, but investing salt money netted a pretty darn good return as well. Teletype Corporation produced a number of models over the next few decades. The Model 15 through 35 saw an increase in the speed messages could be sent and improved encoding techniques. As the typewriter became a standard, the 8.5 by 11 inch came as a means of being most easily compatible for those typewriters. The A standard was developed so A0 is a square meter, A1 is half that, A2, half that, and so on, with A4 becoming a standard paper size in Europe. But teletypes often had continual feeds and so while they had the same width in many cases, paper moved from a small paper tape to a longer roll of paper cut the same size as letter paper. Decades after Krum was out of the company, the US Naval Observatory built what they called a Krum TTY to transmit data over radio, naming their device after him. Now, messages could be sent over a telegraph wire and wirelessly. Thus by 1966 when the Inktronic shipped and printed 1200 characters a minute, it was able to print in baud or ASCII, which Teletype had developed for guess who, the Navy. But they had also developed a Teletype they called the Dataspeed with what we think of as a modem today, which evolved into the Teletype 33, the first Teletype to be consistently used with a computer. The teletype could send data to a computer and receive information that was printed in the same way information would be sent to another teletype operator who would respond in a printout. Another teletype with the same line receives that signal. When hooked to a computer though, the operator presses one of the keys on the teletype keyboard, it transmits an electronic signal. Over time, those teletypes could be installed on the other side of a phone line. And if a person could talk to a computer, why couldn't two computers talk to one another? ASCII was initially published in 1963 so computers could exchange information in a standardized fashion. Bell Labs was involved and so it's no surprise we saw ASCII show up within just a couple of years on the Teletype. ASCII was a huge win. Teletype sold over 600,000 of the 32s and 33s. Early video screens cost over $10,000 so interactive computing meant sending characters to a computer, which translated the characters into commands, and those into machine code. But the invention of the integrated circuit, MOSFET, and microchip dropped those prices considerably. When screens dropped in price enough, and Unix came along in 1971, also from the Bell system, it's no surprised that the first shells were referred to as TTY, short for teletype. After all, the developers and users were often literally using teletypes to connect. As computing companies embraced time sharing and added the ability to handle multiple tasks those evolved into the ability to invoke multiple TTY sessions as a given user, thus while waiting for a task to complete we could do another task. And so we got tty1, tty2, tty3, etc. The first GUIs were then effectively macros or shell scripts that were called by clicking a button. And those evolved so they weren't obfuscating the shell but instead now we open a terminal emulator in most modern operating systems not to talk to the shell directly but to send commands to the emulator that interprets them in more modern languages. And yet run tty and we can still see the “return user's terminal name” to quote the man page. Today we interact with computers in a very different way than we did over teletypes. We don't send text and receive the output in a a print-out any longer. Instead we use monitors that allow us to use keyboards to type out messages through the Internet as we do over telnet and then ssh using either binary or ASCII codes. The Teletype and typewriter evolved into today's keyboard, which offers a faster and more efficient way to communicate. Those early CTSS then Unix C programs that evolved into ls and ssh and cat are now actions performed in graphical interfaces or shells. The last remaining teletypes are now used in airline telephone systems. And following the breakup of AT&T, Teletype Corporation need finally in 1990, as computer terminals evolved into a different direction. Yet we still see their remnants in everyday use.

Rabbit Rabbit! It's the first episode of September, and boy, do we have some atoning to do. After making some not necessarily false but ultimately misinformed statements throughout August about the Lindbergh Baby, the Saved by the Bell revival, and the Morton Salt company (the very cheek, we know...), Doug and Alice guess at some celebrity ages, invent a new music-themed board game (Doo-wop-oly?), and catalog the extraordinarily prolific, birthday queen Diane Warren's entire discography. Did you all know she wrote Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping"?* Seriously. So prolific! Other discussion topics may include: - The safest way to send your 3-year old skydiving - "Harry Shearer," "Marv Green," and other great names for Illinois pickle farmers - A celebration of music's greatest Glorias - from Gloria Gaynor to Gloria Estefan to Gladys Knight - The best spots around town to pick up a Supreme Leader with Cheese - In case you're reading this after listening, a friendly reminder: Don't look up "teratoma" *Oh, nothing. Just felt like including an asterisk. What a fun, typographical notation.

Episode 147 : Guest Beers from ABV Chicago Nick and Alex are back in the basement for an IRL podcast! We're drinking beers our friends ABV Chicago brought us in exchange for some locals while they were in town! We kick this episode off with Hop Butcher for the World's Green Moss and it makes us think about getting a flavor wheel again. Nick tells a story about food poisoning and not being smart. Alex got some Venmo's for pride and we talk about the Fueled Family Reunion happening 7/17. Nick and Alex recap their weekends including Old Thunder and Four Points and a highlight meeting the Bridge City Brinery crew and the legend of the banana ketchup. After we talk about food trucks we roll into beer #2: Phase Three's Pixel Density Lite. Episode subtitle : I don't have many friends who drink craft beer except for the friends who drink craft beer - Alex. Alex ran into Aadam Soorma and revisited his Goldmark experience before telling Nick about his experience with 2 Frays Brewing in Garfield. We share our appreciation for being at the bar and the service industry handling it as good as they can. From there, we're on to beer #3 which is a wild collab between Half Acre and Morton Salt called It Pours. This one was WILD and we both felt the same about it. We take a palate cleanser break with Mental Titans from Old Thunder and then we talk about the pricing of deodorant and general hygiene soaps and solutions. Beer number 4 is Supermassive Cafe Deth from Revolution Brewing with Dark Matter Coffee. After being wowed by this Revolution stout, Nick drops a gift from @hellobrewtifulpgh, the Platform x Prantl's collab. We called Jen to get her reaction to Alex drinking this beer. We wrap with the normal shoutouts to all our friends and can't wait for you to listen next week! Cheers!

Another one of those mind bending sessions.  Having spent the past five years chatting with Jennifer on a weekly basis, only starting to film about a year ago, we have 65 podcasts of us chatting with people on the flipside. We have three books of interviews "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" where we discuss how we met, the process we use, and the many verifications that have occurred on camera in her office, in restaurants.  In this case, one can search through these podcasts to hear other verificiations. Each week we "enter our classroom" where people are standing by waiting to chat with us. The books were named because Tom Petty described the process of "getting onto the clipboard of Luana the way someone might try to get a VIP pass to backstage at a concert."  My friend of 20 years, who passed in 1996, starting showing up to me and to family members over the years. Then when I met Jennifer Luana started showing up weekly - that is helping us to access people on the flipside, and vice versa. On the flipside they describe her participation as "showing how it's done."  In the six years of doing this, I've often "asked for people to come forward" - and most of the time Jennifer tells me who it is that I've asked for - said their name aloud prior to a session - in one to three tries.   Sometimes it takes longer - because again, they're putting images in her head that lead her to say something. So for example, if someone shows up named "Fred" - she might see her husband Fred. And then from there I ask questions about the identify of whomever shows up. This was one of those examples.  She said "somewhere is here that wants to speak to us, but neither of us would know him."  So it took me the time it took me to figure out who that might be. Carl Laemmle was a prolific film producer in the 1920s and 30's. He dies at the age of 72 in 1939, making such hit films as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Phantom of the Opera" "Dracula" and "Frankenstein."  I was not aware of the films he made - but doing this research after the podcast, I realize last night while watching "Singing in the Rain" with their parody of the first sound films, I noted to my wife that if one watches "Dracula" (1931) carefully, the actors move over to where a microphone is hidden in a plant or a lamp or somewhere in the room to pick up the sound.  In the film "Singing in the Rain" they had a character with a German accent playing the role of the film director beside himself with fury about planting the microphones on set - and I realize as I write this sentence it was likely a parody of Germans like Carl who emigrated in the 1880's. Everything I report is accurate - in that it was Carl who suggested that Amelia Earhart star in a film about herself, and how she and Mary Pickford wrote a screenplay together, excerpted in George Putnam's posthumous biography of his missing wife. Fans of "Hacking the Afterlife" know that we interviewed Amelia extensively and that I've spent 30 years gathering eyewitness reports that claim she was captured, and died in Saipan. (EarhartOnSaipan.com is a webpage filled with details of that sage).  But in this instance, it was Amelia who brought Carl in - and he wanted to "give it a shot" and be interviewed by us. After my incredulousness wore off (not about the fact he was there, but why he showed up) I asked him to describe what he's up to, and his reply is unlike any we've heard before.  We have heard people can "learn to cook" but his specificity of Indian ovens (ie. tandoor ovens) for specific dishes is accurate but not something Jennifer is aware of.  His description of various salts (Moroccan!) is also accurate, having traveled around the world I know there's more than Morton Salt to be tasted.  That was quite specific. But then Prince showed up - and as fans of our work know, he's been showing up since he crossed over, interviews are in "Hacking the Afterlife" and a number of times in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." I'm aware that the vast majority of listeners would turn off the podcast around this moment, but they'd miss him bringing Ludwig and Vincent forward to talk about art and how those frequencies affect their continued work. We tend to think in human centric terms (how could we not?) about time, about fame, about all of those things that don't mean much on the flipside. The idea that Carl could come forward 80 some years after his passing, and carry on a conversation as if he was aware of everything that's been said since is mind bending.  The idea that Ludwig might be considered 250 years old - but what she had to say about his digestive issues is accurate - and at one point mentions his "blindness" ... because she's not aware that he was going to come to class today, or not really up on his story. I literally did finish reading a biography about him this morning, and am in awe of his talent and output as an artist - but I wanted to dig into something that bothered me, his behavior towards his sister and law and her son is considered beyond the pale - while working on Missa Solemnis and the 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies.  Like the sand in an oyster that turns into great pearls, it was the sacrifice his sister and law Johanna and nephew Frank put up with so that he could create the kind of art that he did. Vincent mentions a "savage animal" attacking his ear - that could be a metaphor for the "man in the mirror," "some bar fight gone wrong," or literally an animal attacking him - I don't know. It doesn't really matter, because as he put it "I won. I'm the most valued artist of us all."  Funny way to put it - but accurate. This podcast may offend a few, may startle a few, but Jennifer and I show up unprepared, except for the body of work that's preceded when I turn on the camera and record our podcast. Enjoy.

It's August 28th. It's the day I was born. So I thought I would do a throwback episode and a take a day off from new content. Think back to 1986, if you can. What were you doing? Were you in College like I was at the University of Cincinnati? Were you riding a Huffy bicycle as a young woman or man? From 1986 to 1989 I was lucky enough to be an Industrial Engineering student and I had a co-op job at Huffy bicycles. Huffy had brought in a consulting firm whose initials at the time we AA. After spending many months on-site collecting data, they made a final presentation to our management team using acetate slides on an overhead projector- powerpoint was many years away. They suggested that we embrace something called “Lean” manufacturing to make improvements within the factory and to help us combat the many Asian competitors that were bringing bikes to America. Here is a picture of the best selling bike at the time, a 1987 BMX Sigma. [caption id="attachment_482" align="aligncenter" width="501"] bmxmuseum.com[/caption] I can remember the Industrial Engineering manager being livid in the fact that they used a “canned” presentation. “We spent $100,000 dollars on them, and they gave us a canned presentation that they probably give to everyone!” Regardless, the information in the presentation was heard and we decided that we were going to deploy Lean concepts on our own. This was a few years before James Womack would publish the Machine that Changed the World. At the time there wasn't much information readily available. We learned and implemented some key concepts like pull systems and welding cells. We partnered with the Steel Workers Union to collapse job classifications (we didn't realize at the time that lean is mostly about engaging employees and culture change). We tried things, looked at the results, and often tried things again following the Plan, Do, Check, Act- Deming wheel. At the end of the day, it was an unbelievable place to learn as a college student and generate excitement to complete your Industrial Engineering degree. After college, I spent six years in the paper industry and implemented as many Lean principles as were practical. We used pull systems for raw materials like dyes and chemicals. We used FIFO lanes for rolls of paper in front of some of the downstream processes. But I always wanted to be a consultant. After working in the paper industry for five years, I began a consulting career with a Manufacturing Extension Center (MEC) in Cincinnati. The purpose of the MEC was to consult with local companies of all sizes and help them increase their competitiveness through the adoption of Lean principles. Clients ranged from Morton Salt and Ford to family-owned businesses. In 1998 our family relocated to Denver Colorado. I can remember hoping that I could get a job with JCIT- John Costanza Institute of Technology. John had packaged many lean methodologies into something called Demand Flow Technology or DFT. Working there for several years, I implemented DFT within all sorts of Fortune 100 companies. I can remember working with Carrier corporation a high-volume producer of HVAC equipment. We also consulted with Trinity Industries who made railcars and barges. Rail cars and barges are large, low-volume items. Demand Flow Technology was applicable across all of these industries. Since leaving JCIT in 2000 and working on my own, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with many companies across the US and in Mexico. Curtiss Wright, Proctor & Gamble, Lockheed Martin, United Technology Corporation, Stryker medical, to name a few of the larger ones. I have also been fortunate enough to work with many private, family-owned companies as well as covering every industry from the medical device industry to auto body shops. Every company has their own dynamic, their own unique needs

What are you doing with all of your tomatoes? A few years ago, I stumbled on Ina Garten's Recipe for Roasted Tomato Soup - it's the best roasted tomato basil soup recipe out there if you ask me! Ina's recipe calls for fresh tomatoes and herbs and she doesn't use cream or milk. Best of all, Ina's soup is rich and full of flavor. Ingredients 3 lbs. ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 cups chopped yellow onions 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1 (28 oz) can whole plum tomatoes, with juice 4 cups fresh basil leaves, packed 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp. dried) 4 cups chicken stock (homemadeor store bought) Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Gently toss the tomatoes from your garden with 1/4 cup olive oil and layer on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast for 45 minutes. In a large dutch-oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onions are translucent and start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, roasted tomatoes, including the juices, and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the soup back to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, uncovered. Transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve with drizzle of cream or dollop of sour cream, fresh parmesan, and side of grilled cheese. So that's what I do with any extra tomatoes this time of year. I'll share the recipe in today's Show Notes.   Brevities #OTD On this day in 1843, the New England Farmer ran an ad about Chrysanthemums for nurseryman Joseph Breck: "The subscribers offer for sale twenty varieties of new Chrysanthemums of the most superb and rare sorts, at 50 cents per pot."     #OTD   Today is the birthday of Joy Morton who was born on this day in 1855. Morton's father was J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Dayand  a former secretary of agriculture under President Cleveland. Not surprisingly, Joy's love of trees was instilled in him at a young age. Raised on a farm in Nebraska, Joy Morton became a powerful businessman in Chicago with his company Morton Salt. In December 1922, Joy established The Morton Arboretum - a tract of land dedicated to ongoing study of trees, shrubs, and grasses. In 1923, Morton donated his family's Ancestral home, Arbor Lodge, to Nebraska and the property became a state park and a memorial to his father. An article from the Chicago Tribune in 1926, offered a glimpse of the passion Morton felt about trees. Speaking at the Arboretum, Morton said, "I want to appeal to the gambling instinct of the American people. I want a man to come in here and say, 'What can I get out of tree planting?' I want to arouse his venturesomeness. A man old enough to think for himself comes in here and sees a group like that [pointing] group of walnuts over there which is doing so well, and then he says to himself, 'Well, how about it? What can I do now on my land that will mean something to my grandchildren thirty years hence? And, then I want him to keep looking at the walnuts, or what he likes best, until he says, I believe I'll go and do likewise.'"   #OTD   Today is the birthday of James Drummond Dole who was born on this day in 1877. Dole had gone to Harvard and then after graduation at the age of 22, he made his way to Hawaii in 1899. After living there two years, he honed in on growing pineapple as a business. The Smooth Cayenne strain of pineapple wasn't native to Hawaii. It was a Florida variety. Dole began growing 200 pineapple plants on 60 acres. The rest is history. Here are a few fun pineapple facts: Pineapples have Bromelain; a chemical that prevents gelatin from setting. But, once pineapple is canned, the Bromelain is destroyed, which is why you can add canned pineapple to jello. Christopher Columbus brought pineapples back to Spain from the Caribbean Island of Guadalupe in 1493.  The Spanish introduced pineapples to Hawaii. Today, thanks to Dole, more than one-third of the world's commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii.     Unearthed Words How beautiful leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days. -John Burroughs   Autumn arrives early in the morning but spring at the close of the day. - Elizabeth Bowen   Autumn asks that we prepare for the future —that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go—to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness.  - Bonaro W. Overstreet     Today's book recommendation: Hedgemaids and Fairy Candles by Jack Sanders This lovely little book is a personal favorite. It came out in 1995 and the subtitle is The Lives and Lore of North American Wildflowers. The hedgemaids referred to in the title is a reference to the common ground ivy, while Fairy Candles are the tall, white rockets of the native black cohosh, Cimicifuga racemosa.  In the book, Author Jack Sanders explores the lives and lore of more than 80 of North America's most popular wildflowers, describing the origins of their names, their places in history and literature, what uses ancient herbalists found for them, what uses they have now, where they grow, how they reproduce, and how to grow or transplant them. You can get used copies using the Amazon link in the Show Notes for as little as $.25!       Today's Garden Chore Remember the things you want to keep top of mind about this year's garden and take a few minutes to write down some notes. Aside from what you liked and what was a bust, try to put together a list of things you'd like to do in your 2020 garden. Then, get your calendar out and sync up your goals with a timeline. If you want a pond installed by your kid's graduation, you need to be making calls now. If you know you need some mulch delivered first thing next Spring, put a reminder on your calendar for the middle of April - better yet, if you know how much you need, make a note of that as well. All the minutia of our gardens that we think is unforgettable is lost to us once our lives get busy and the holidays roll around. So grab a pumpkin spice latte and your favorite notebook, and start journaling for a more strategic start in your garden next year.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Sunday is the 29th of September - also known as Michaelmas. In the middle ages in England, farmers used Michaelmas as a way to mark the change of seasons; It was time to wrap up the reaping and start getting ready for winter. And, according to folklore, bounty-thorn (the English folk-name for blackberries) need to be picked by Michaelmas because that was the day that Lucifer was expelled from Heaven. Now according to folklore, once he was cast out, Lucifer promptly fell straight into a blackberry bush. A blackberry bush would not make for a soft landing. Lucifer wasn't thrilled with it either. He supposedly cursed the blackberry fruit, making them unfit for consumption. So unless, you want to eat tainted blackberries, get them picked before Sunday. And don't forget, blackberries make a lovely pie or crumble.       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

The band really uses play and discovery to work their craft. Learn why you should be listening and watching OkGo.

Ad Campaign: a series of ads bound together by a set of distinctive identifiers. Can you name the identifiers that mark your campaign? Okay, there's the font you use for your company name and the color scheme you use on your business cards, letterhead and signage. But the world overflows with fonts and colors. What other distinctive identifiers cause your readers, listeners and viewers to immediately recognize your ads as yours? Think of an ad campaign other than your own that you admire. What are its distinctive identifiers? Every successful campaign has a style guide that gives its ads their “connectedness.” The longer you use a memorable style guide, the more recognizable your brand becomes. Customers prefer the known to the unknown, the familiar to the unfamiliar.   The Morton Salt girl has changed dramatically over the years, but always within a clearly defined style guide that makes her seem forever the same; right foot forward, left foot back, umbrella cradled in the crook of the right elbow, salt pouring behind her as she carries it in the crook of her left elbow, and the rain falling at an angle, right to left, as though pushing the girl forward rather than opposing her. And the color scheme is strictly dichromatic: yellow and navy blue. http://www.mortonsalt.com/faqs/#q1 (Salty Sally) has had six different faces and has changed her clothes and shoes and hairstyle in virtually every incarnation but she remains one of the most recognized brand icons in the world due to Morton's commitment to work within the boundaries of a highly specific style guide. A good style guide is built upon the words “always” and “never.” What is always in your ads? What is never in them? What are the boundaries of your style guide? A distinct brand personality is the result of a memorable style guide. A tight style guide makes your company feel reliable in the mind of your customer. It's easy to be creative when you're free to do anything you want. The test of real creative genius is whether you can be unpredictable and consistent simultaneously. Can you create something new, surprising and different within a recognizable framework carved in stone? If you do what people expect you to do, you bore them. If you say what they expect you to say, they turn their attention elsewhere. Predictability is death in advertising. But consistency is the lifeblood of brand building. Predictability is the result of bad writing. Consistency is the result of a style guide. Good writing within a memorable style guide is the mark of a master. In works of fiction, the style guide is known as the Character Bible. It defines how each character thinks, acts, and sees the world. If a fictional character says or does something that doesn't ring true, it's because the writer stepped beyond the boundaries of the Character Bible. Bill Watterson created the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes within a devilishly narrow style guide and an unbelievably tight Character Bible. Hobbes is a lanky tiger with a dry wit when only Calvin is in the frame of the cartoon with him but when anyone else is present, Hobbes is a small, stuffed tiger with button eyes. Watterson steadfastly refuses to license Calvin and Hobbes television shows, plush toys, action figures or other products. This unforgettable pair will forever be limited to the printed page. Watterson is giving up tens of millions of dollars and he knows it. I admire him. Animals are much better equipped than you and me to judge color differences, depth perception, pattern disruptions and smells. The gift that allows us humans to rule the world is our ability to attach complex meanings to sounds. Some of these sounds are called words but...
