CrankyOctopus will be getting the beginning of issue 25 on Monday…but in the meantime I'll be posting this 3 page story I did for the private files of the fowl, which can be read here.

Again…more recent than the stuff in Acrobat 24. I'd say this is about a month old now? Brush inked too.

I was also on a serious Alex Toth kick…still am, actually. You may know his work from character designs on shows like Space Ghost and Johnny Quest, but he did AMAZING comic book work on the side. He was really good with only drawing what HAD to be there to tell the story without filling every page with extraneous detail…which seems to be a rare discipline nowadays.
