While I was buying it for the fanart at the bookstore's art section, I saw some very narrow Bristol pads that are DESIGNED EXACTLY FOR drawing comic strips! Now I DON'T have to buy some BIG Bristol papers and cut them up like I used to do all the time! Oh, and there are also pads for manga-related artwork as well as COMIC BOOKS!!! Good to see that the little village bookstore is supporting us struggling young cartoonists! (Though some art stuff are still hard to come by - unless I special-order them and then wait several months. )

Oh, and while I was inking late last night, I saw that when I am at my peak, I draw like an Olympics skater on ice. Otherwise, I inch along a bit too cautiously, risking a mistake or two this way. So now I know as a cartoonist and an artist that I should warm up before getting into serious business. Part of the whole learning process.

One more thing...I am playing with the notion to GIVE most of my old PPG fanart (the non-risque ones) to Craig McCracken himself if he happens to be at Comic Con this year. (I don't know, though. )
