No Darwin to keep him company?
Nice drawing sir.

I tried to throw a helper monkey in there in honor of Darwin, but they wouldn't go for it. Their loss; studies show monkeys sell papers!

And you're living proof of that theory! ;)

Page 1! Whoo-Hoo! Cool stuff, Crawdad!

Do you not know if your gonna get a illo on a specific page or not when you get the work assigned?

Hey, is most of this drawing done on paper? The inks look like it could be; all could be, too, but who knows. Hard to tell sometimes.

Great Abe, man. I like it!

Why you, I oughtta--!

This one was done on reg'lar paper then scanned and colored a little in Photoshop. As far as where it ends up in the paper, it depends on stuff like breaking news, color positions, stuff like that there. But this was pitched as an A1 idea the day before, and it actually stuck this time! Yeath!

I don't think I've ever noticed the font changes in the paper until now! They done justice to ya drawring, KT!
