A few items of note:First,  Mr. Danno Klonowski has featured the pinup I made for his series Manly  Tales of Cowardice on his website along with some very kind words. Attentive readers may recall that  Danno was the featured artist of this year’s Lutefisk Sushi show. He’s also made a wry and deservedly biting nod to my character Tanhauser Dentz, who attentive readers will will not recall since I haven’t made it around to reprinting his adventure yet. (He was a character in my 2008 24 Hour Comic two three years ago)
Second item: I’ve discovered that some of the images posted on this blog appear better when viewed in Safari instead of Firefox, or at least they appear closer to the original files in Photoshop. You own aesthetic pleasure may vary based on personal taste.
Finally, I’ve decided that we live in world where little children no longer see any romance in lighthouses. I never did myself, but seeing this cynicism in children is just heartbreaking. Maybe they’ll grow out of it.
