Thank you Michelle for the very nice work.
 For the next several years, Nasser produced sporadic comic book work while traveling throughout the United States. He began promoting the idea of creating a new political hierarchy through the comic book medium, which led his colleagues to often cite his behavior as messianic and indicative of insanity. By the summer of 1981, Nasser all but disappeared from the American comics scene, extending his travels back to his childhood home in Lebanon.
The Wikipedia project also sports a page for Expanding Earth Theory which I've recently participated in "expanding" with the following contribution on subduction. It appears to be standing its ground, in the meantime, but one never knows when a Wiki editor might feel compelled to challenge it.
 Expanding Earth Theory scrutinizes the theory of subduction on several counts:
- In order for subduction to cause the Earth's size to remain fixed, the same exact amount of crustal material appearing at the mid-ocean ridges must subsequently subduct back into the Earth. There exists, however, no known mechanism for such a correlation, nor is there any geological evidence binding such a relationship between the two processes.
- The mid-ocean ridges are considerably more vast in length and area than the known subduction zones and circle the entire globe in several configurations. In order for the crustal material appearing there to subduct equally into the known zones, some evidence of a bottle-neck pile-up of oceanic slabs should be visible nearing these subduction zones. Yet the entire ocean floor is smoothly surfaced, free of oceanic slab irregularities, indicating harmonious spreading unencumbered by such a process.
- The ocean floor areas on the "other side" of the subduction zones, facing the continental shelves, are the same age as the ocean floor areas on the subducting side, facing the mid-ocean ridges. Because subduction only occurs on one side of the zones, facing the mid-ocean ridges, the "other side" should show evidence of being much older, geologically, because it does not subduct. Yet, no such evidence is visible.
Geologists and Geophysicists have traditonally restrained their support for Expanding Earth Theory because there exists no known process, as of yet, within which new magmatic or crustal matter can be created within the core of the Earth, causing it to expand and grow.
