> As Ernest Fairchild, he had the ability to sketch drawings of the future. This was first demonstrated when he drew a picture of a brand new washing machine being delivered shortly before one was delivered to his parents as a prize in a raffle they had not even entered. It seems that his ability could change the future since he once drew a picture of him and his future younger brother walking hand and hand when he heard his mother tell his father she was pregnant with a boy, only to prevent his younger brother from being born when he drew his mother’s car crashing into a tree.

That sounds awesome!!

I was having difficulty with this concept, so I decided to look it up on Wikipedia.I know I’m wrong, but that’s funny as hell!

But then I read that there was a successful live-action movie made of the comic? :eek:

The kind that get released to big-screen theaters (at least in Japan), or the kind that you can’t even find in porn stores and can only get tapes of at a very low-end marginally legal flea market (like the “WAY BEYOND – XXXXXXX” “simulated-rape” vids briefly mentioned in [_8mm_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8mm_%28film%29))?
