The much loved comic that spawned an entire industry of alternative indy comic books. It'll be cool to see if glamourpuss sends the same ripples throughout the industry. I posted this last night

The artwork in the flash intro (particularly the screen with two panels) is really something. Gorgeous stuff. And check out the publicity pics of Dave next to the wall of artwork. The guy sure looks in good shape for a man pushing 50! Of course that's often what happens when you give up smoking and drinking for the better part of the last decade. :) Wow.
