Welcome to February CRAZIES!!! It's a new month and with it, a little renewed hope. Valentines Day isn't too far off, Spring is around the corner and vaccines are beginning to roll out. It's a very slow process but hey, it's a start. February also marks another special occasion: The CRAZYVERSARY!!! That's right! This month marks 11 years since since I launched this blog with the help of a couple a rascally kids whose only mission in life it seemed was to wreak as much cartoony mayhem upon each other as possible! I'm talking about Mike & Mindy of course, and today they come out of cartoon retirement again, albeit not in as grand of fashion as last year's bash. But they are still here none the less and have brought another longtime pal of all things CRAZY with them! Who you ask? Scroll down and see! Enjoy...
It ain't a party without cake, and it just ain't a CRAZY party without the legendary Dancing Asparagus coming OUT of the cake! His origins are more simple than people realize, but the Cliff Notes version of it is he initially appeared as a mere mention in a jam comic that I ran with once it was my turn to draw a panel. He appeared in my comics and art a lot during the run of M&M and Mushrooms and sort of became the unofficial Ambassador of the CRAZYVERSE. He hasn't appeared much in recent years, but folks still remember him and it seemed only appropriate that he'd appear again as Mike and Mindy make their own return during their special month. They may all be retired now, but these characters all still mean a lot to me. They were my first stars and they will always be a very important part of the CRAZY legacy.
Well, that's all for this first week of February, but we'll be back next time with some fun guest art all paying tribute to the madness that is Mike & Mindy! In fact, we'll be treated to this guest madness all month long, so stay "Tooned!" Until next time, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
