20K? Thankyou! and ketchup!

Thanks to everyone who's taken a look at my gallery here, and especially those who've commented. While I was in NY this past month the pageview ticker passed the 20K mark, way more than I had a right to expect- much appreciated. Have fallen behind in responding to comments, part flakiness, part OCD about typing (delete is my most used key), and part the downside of staying away from the computer, as much as possible, while I was away. Sorry about that, but geez, I really needed a break from this thing. Even that still meant a couple hours in front of the screen every other day or so. There's nothing convenient about it, and no good time for it, and I highly recommend it to anyone.  Also, read James Sturms series at Slate.com about unplugging from the internet for a few months, he found a clever/productive way to justify doing what I suspect many of us think about on a regular basis. Anyways, will be playing catch up this week, and, again, apologies for going AWOL- just the way it's gotta be sometimes. Hope all's well.

PS hey! look:

-Sanford Kossin www.flickr.com/photos/7914634@… never heard of him before, one of my brothers had a stack of MASH books with Kossin covers that blew my mind;  he's also done movie posters and some Mad magazine work I'm trying to track down.

-Andrew Robinson   he's working on a GN that's looking pretty classic.

-Toby Cypress his OGN Rodd Racer just came out, is incredible.

-James Sturm's Slate series www.slate.com/id/2249562/entry… also say what a great cartoonist (Golem's Mighty Swing, Market Day) and teacher he is. When he taught at SCAD I was in his first class, a formative experience, and I'm sure he's only gotten better since. He started a school even. Who does that? An impressive fellow.
