Mark Fuhrman showed his artistic ability to Diane Sawyer the first time she interviewed him on television in 1996 with a drawing of his 5-year-old daughter. He did it again in People Magazine with his drawing of a railroad man and a dog sitting on the cowcatcher platform of a Civil War locomotive. In Murder in Brentwood, he added hand lettering to his drawings of a Swiss Army knife and a German Stiletto, his pen and ink diagram of O.J. Simpson's Brentwood home and two pen and ink color cutaways of Ron Goldman's stab wounds.

One art and literary form combines these Mark Fuhrman talents and preferences in a story-telling frame or a series of story-telling panels; the cartoon. You'll find it on editorial pages of newspapers and magazines in the form of political cartoons. You'll find it in comic strips and comic books. I found it recently when I was looking at the flower drawn on the Mothers poem while thinking about The Last Leaf.  Fuhrman made the Mothers poem photo/Last Leaf connection in his movie with falling autumn leaves, Martha Moxley's mother and Martha's brother John... Martha and John... Superman's foster parents. 

I was thinking of Superman as a space alien that I somehow neglected to include in Names, Birthday's and Aliens. Considering Fuhrman's casting of Jon Foster to play Martha's killer and his name change of real people named Ix to characters he called Foster, it seemed to me that I might also have missed something big about Clark Kent's foster parents, Jonathan and Martha. I thought I'd learn something new about them in the 1952 Adventures of Superman TV series but in the first episode Pa Kent's name was Eben and Ma Kent was Sarah. I wanted to know when they became Jonathan and Martha. So I Googled "Superman, Jonathan and Martha Kent." My search took me to page 22 of a comic book.

DC Comics, 1982 Superman and Clark, who've been split into two individuals, visit the graves of their foster parents Jonathan and Martha Kent. You don't have to see the birthdays and death days on the headstones to know that they are given in the smeared lettering below their names. It's a common practice to inscribe those things on a tombstone in a similar fashion. When an epitaph is included on the slab you can represent it on a sheet of paper in a drawing or in the vertical placement of the paper itself, with what is written on it and how that writing is displayed. The look of it can tell you what it stands for.

George Reeves is Superman / Clark Kent in the 1952-1958 Superman  TV series (the pilot aired in 1951). Pa Kent's death day is spelled out in episode 1 when his wife reminds him on April 10 that it's the 25^th anniversary of when they found baby Clark in the spaceship. Clark's foster father marvels at how quickly time has passed. Suddenly he clutches his chest and sinks to the floor. He tells his wife to call a doctor. She does. Too late. He dies in his bedroom. Nothing and no one could have saved him.

25 and 52 are Mark Fuhrman bell-ringers in the reversible mold of all his two digit bell-ringers. 2 and 5 are the 2^nd month (February) and the fifth day (5) of Mark Fuhrman's birthday. 52 is the year.
