I’m pleased to hear that Netflix is getting The Clone Wars next month. I really liked the first season but remember getting bored with it after that so I’m curious to give it another watch. I’m also pleased to see that Disney is finally getting away from the prequels and starting this Rebels thing.
It is a very strange premise for a TV show. A bunch of identical characters are fighting robots with no clear objective. Oh, and in the end the hero turns into a bad guy who kills children.

This book was a Christmas present from my hubby and it was just the perfect gift for a wine nerd given by a cartoonist…meshing both worlds in a weird and beautiful way.
I usually think of wine making as a science, the hard toil of the land. Whereas, when creating a graphic novel, the process focuses as essentially an artistic endeavor. That is all true, but those premises are flipped around in this great read.
"The Initiates," published in the US by NBM is drawn with expertise and [resented in a way that brings the science of making a graphic novel and the art of making wine to the forefront.
You start to feel a part of both of the processes, making wine and making a book. In my world, this is the perfect match, just like my husband, Alex, and me….Happy Valentine’s Day!

Comic Strip Catch Up...
It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to post a few Next Week in NYC! strips. Here are a few from last fall. I’ll try and keep them coming on a more regular basis. For a while anyway. As always, thanks for reading!

The Last LAST Ink Panthers Show! Like, For Real.
Holy what now? The last show? Sadly, yes. We’ve decided to call it a day, and are joined by Tony Consiglio, The Desert Panther, one last time to discuss some very important things.
Why is the show ending, you ask? Fret not, it’s not a case of bad blood or some dispute. We just decided that this little thing here in Panther’s Lair had just run it’s course, and rather than let it continue to dribble and limp along, it felt better to end things cleanly and swiftly, as Alex says in the episode, like taking the show out back and shooting it in the head.
You can continue to follow the Panthers at their respective websites, here’s Alex’s and here’s Mike’s, and follow us on twitter too (Alex and Mike). Alex of course can still be heard on the podcast airwaves five days a week at Star Wars Minute. Mike is taking a break from podcasting for a little bit, but his new book, ANGIE BONGIOLATTI, will be published by Secret Acres on April 15th of this year. Look to snag an early copy at the MoCCA Festival, or at his Book Release Party, on March 28th at Bergen Street Comics. Again, follow the boys on twitter if you really want to be kept up to date with all the goings-ons.
So… that’s a wrap. Thankyou for listening all this time. It’s been an amazing experience!
Love,
Gags and Tiger-Bear.

I was going through my closet and found this drawing I did way back in 1988. Consider this: this drawing is farther in the past than 1969 was from 1988. I am old.
