WELCOME TO THE "SHOE" CRISPIN WOOD!!!

Welcome to Week 3 of Mike & Mindy's 10th Anniversary!  And what better way to start things off than by addressing one of M&M's biggest tropes!  You see, as much of a role as helium, bloomers and mayhem played throughout M&M's run, they were never exactly a constant.  They happened, yes, but the two tropes that played out more so than any other were their silence (And not once in any of the comics that I ever drew did they actually utter a single word) and Mike's perpetually untied shoe, which always switched feet every comic!  Well, they're still silent, though they have spoken in guest strips, so I guess the only thing to take care of now is that rogue shoe of Mike's!  Luckily, Crispin Wood, the creator of Small Blue Yonder, was up for the task!  How'd he pull it off?  Scroll down and you'll find out!  Enjoy...

Mike's never been accused of lacking creativity, and he certainly got those creative juices flowing today!  I never realized how long those laces really are!  Gonna be sad when he inevitably has to take a step!  At least we have that fourth panel to remember it by!  Crispin Wood is a damn funny fella!  His comic, Small Blue Yonder, is more or less the spiritual successor to The Far Side.  Subversive, irreverent and insanely funny, Crispin's a true master of the cartooning craft and a real stickler for dialogue placement too!  In a perfect world, his comics would be in every newspaper on the planet, but thankfully, he posts them on his website so that ALL can access and enjoy them.  What a nice guy, am I right?  Thanks again Crispin.  You always deliver big laughs!

That's all for now.  We'll be back Wednesday for a guest comic that's truly out of this world!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
