VIVA BUBBLE FOX, PART 2!!!

We are back!  And it's not only the last post in April (Man does time fly!), but it's also my birthday of all days!  I'm honestly not certain how many times I had a blog entry post on my actual birthday, but it's enough that I'm likely gonna be tracing back now just to see if I did and just how many times I did!  The things that keep me up at night sometimes!  Anyway, last week I talked about the great Viva Bubble Fox Day event that Kim Belding and Chris Gobbet surprised me with back in February.  Well, one post simply wasn't enough to handle all of that awesome art, so here's the rest of the spectacular Bubble Fox/Mike & Mindy/Peppertown fan art I received!  Once again, I'll leave the commentary to you fine folks as we see just how wonderful and giving the web comic community can really be.  Enjoy...

And there you have it!  Thank you all so much for the wonderful fan art you surprised me with!  I am still stunned to have gotten so many!  As an cartoonist, especially a web cartoonist, you never really know who all is reading your work or if it ever really makes an impact.  It's more or less something we do for the love of the game sort of speak.  To have something like this happen at a time when things were looking a bit bleak, it really strengthens my faith and makes me realize I do have friends who care about me and that maybe my silly drawings of inflatable foxes and warring kids and wedgie monsters really have made a difference in people's lives.  This art sure made a difference in my life and I'll be eternally grateful to Kim and Chris for doing this for me and for the many artists who took time out of their insanely busy lives I'm sure to make me feel better about things.  I can't thank y'all enough for being the good people that y'all are.

And that's all she wrote for April.  Next week, the Blog Toons FINALLY return after a long hiatus!  In the mean time though, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

VIVA BUBBLE FOX, PART 1!!!

Something truly amazing happened to me back in February.  It's no real secret I guess that life in recent months hasn't been as great as it could be in the World of CRAZY.  Some days, things were just eating at me something fierce.  My dear pal, Kim Belding, is often the one I talk to when I'm feeling low, and he always manages to lift my spirits.  Never did I imagine he had more than just some kind words planned for me one particular day!  It started innocently enough one night as I began getting fan art Tweeted into my timeline.  By the next day, I'd gotten so many tweets, it literally crashed my app!  I'm still blown away by the gesture that so many pals were willing to take the time to draw my characters in their amazing styles!  Mere words aren't enough to express my gratitude, so I thought I'd just take some time to showcase their work here!  I won't do any running commentary.  Just look and experience the same pure joy and amazement that I got out of these wonderful pieces of art.  Enjoy...

This is only half of what I got!  Next week, we'll see the rest of the wonderful fan art I got from so many amazing pals in the world of comics!  I again give mad thanks to Kim Belding for organizing this wonderful day and Chris Gobbet for promoting it and rounding up the troops!  You guys are the best!  Anyhoo, we'll be back next week for a CRAZY April sendoff on my birthday no less!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
