There are many of us.

We come in peace for all mankind. But I digress.

Novelist Jonathan Tropper, for example, whose first book, "The Book of Joe" (above), was published last year.

Warner Brothers optioned it for a film (currently "in development," the Hollywood equivalent of "real soon now") before it was published.

Now the book is out in paperback (above),

with a nice, expensive advertising campaign in the current New Yorker magazine.

Then there are the fierce visions of artist Joe Coleman (above).

And of course, the late actor and polymath Vincent Price's memoir of his dog Joe (below).

Penultimately, there's "A 21st Century Version of the Book of Job" online

with the very same title as the works above: "The Book of Joe."

And, bringing up the rear, with the broom and the dust pan, behind the last elephant, yours truly.

So many joes, so little time....
