Hi, Everybody!
10 more sleeps until
I think we've figured out what caused the B&W implosion... |
from The Waverly Press Kickstarter launches:
Man, that's coming up pretty quickly. How quickly? There's a pre-launch page. THAT quickly!
I can't remember if I let the cat out of the bag, but The Waverly Press contacted me and said that they are:
going to produce a set of trading cards with the campaign called "Visions of Turtles 8" and want to invite you to create your own Matt Dow trading card to be included in the set.
If you want to be included, think of a strong graphic idea that would reproduce well at the 2,5 x 3.5" size.
I had a number of ideas, but the second one was:
The caption is "GREAT MOMENTS IN TURTLES HISTORY: MAY 5TH, 1991 Cerebus comes out on stage for the SkyDome stop of their COMING OUT OF THEIR SHELLS TOUR" |
Then I traced and inked it and sent it to Dave, who responded on 14th February 2023:
That was idea #2, idea #1, which I mocked up and send to Dave and told him he could use it for the Mo' Sleeps cards is below. This one I printed out as a blueline and inked. Anyway, Dave said on 15th February 2023:I was inspired by Alex Robinson's take on Meet The Beatles (which I can't find on the Internet...bummer).
So, I read the balloon gag I immediately thought of a strip of the balloons floating across panel and slowly rotating so you can read the Chinese characters written on the back. (I didn’t make it because it’ll be at least nine panels, and I’m supposedly very busy.):

"Dear Mr. Sim,
I can't thank you enough for your very thoughtful and generous care package you had sent me of all that incredible "Akimbo" material, including that dedicated sketch. It meant a lot to me 9to me it was a perfectly timed surprise, arriving in the midst of a mild illness and a cat ill with cancer), and I am so glad I could contribute a little bit to your creative endeavors! That issue is going to be fantastic, "Akimbo" is a brilliant name, and Stars 'N Stripes Steampunk Lady[illegible] is a worthy successor to Cosplay Lass.
I really can't thank you enough for everything, and couldn't express it the best way, so instead ^of trying to do so I send a big, long-distance hug of gratitude.
Thanks, ________
P.S. There was a time in my life when I traveled; this card comes from the Czech Republic, from 2003. The stickers are enclosed.
P.P.S. Season Two of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear was just announced, so we can all watch Fina even more (as well as read about her exploits)!
P.P.P.S. I have a student this semester who was born in Kitchener. When I learned that I freaked out!"
Pardon, me. That character from "Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear" the writer was referring to in the second postscript was Yuna, not Fina.
Well. Now we know to whom the scribbled note was a secret message.
