It simply can NOT be healthy for an artist to geek out over his own creation as badly as I did when I drew that last panel. I mean, it’s not like I didn’t know what was coming or anything. And yet, there I was, smiling like a moron, thinking “OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH IT’S ALPHONSE!!!” Not healthy at ALL…

On a much healthier (and more businesslike) note, I see that the much talked about DD Store is finally up and running. So I ask you, faithful reader (all five of you 😀 )what kind of Far Out There iconography would YOU like to see on a T-shirt, coffee mug, or mouse pad? If so, tell me in this new topic on the forum (or I guess you could just post comments here, for those of you in a hurry)

(Historical Notes: Oh wow, I totally forgot the Drunk Duck store was even a thing.  I guess since I was starting to look at SmackJeeves around this time, the memory just up and evaporated.  Of course, I also don’t know if anything was ever actually SOLD on that store before I set up new shops at CafePress.  And my memory just sucks in general these days, so there’s that too.)
