   I just bought that yesterday since there’s an Avatar 2pg comic included. That cover definitely would been a lot better than the one with photos of all the teeny bopper stars.

   Cooke drawing Naruto makes me sad. But I guess something has to pay the bills.

   Lisa and I had a thing in Jr. High. She still looks the same.

   Why?

   Trying to keep it subtle, let’s just say that it’s obvious that it’s commercial work.

   Hey folks!

   Michael, you’d be surprised how little the Nik work pays. I actually do it ’cause its aimed at a young audience, it’s topical and funny.
   I wish I could find more kid entertainment work to do; it’s way more rewarding in terms of the energy you get back from kids.

   Naruto is not a state of mind, he’s a toon with hair that makes him Lisa’s perfect joke date. The challenge with a job like this is to submerge your own sensibilities and create an “on-model” image that convinces the young reader that these two characters exist in a common world.

   So I wish it was for the money, but it’s really because it’s a pleasant diversion and George Whiteside at Nik is a great AD.

   Anyhow, no worries

   Dar

   It’s amazing how the internet is now like a permanent version of that scene in Annie Hall where Marshall McLuhan shows up to explain what his theories really mean.
