My God. I was just in the men's room, looked in the mirror and discovered three giant hairs sticking out from my ear. What the hell is that about? Being closer to death than birth, I realize these rogue hairs will be sprouting from my head more frequently so I routinely check and exterminate these impish tendrils. That being the case, how could I have missed 'em? So confused. This truly is no world for old men.

Here are a few I noticed looking for Captain Jack and a trip to that special island...

I did manage to escape for a quick beer while in NYC and from those moments of solitude amongst a few down-and- outters, I sketched-out a tiny design which I inked and colored and now sits forlornly here.

While the timing is face-twisting late, I just came across this picture of my friend, Kat Lusher, who enjoys hanging around tourist spots and having strangers snap pictures of her. Here she is on Easter Sunday in San Francisco. Mortifyingly, Kat left the house without her bonnet but after a few strokes of the pen, the exhuberence of bunnies and Christ was resurrected.

My apologies for not writing or drawing sooner... there was this little thing called The Licensing Show which just concluded last week in New York City. It happens to be our largest and most important sales/promotional event of the year. Lots of effort, time, money and planning goes into it to insure we, Fox, execute against our strategy with as much impact, style and success as humanly possible. We were successful but not before slipping into the bowels of hell... definitely the worst show I've been a part of. Fortunately the chaos from behind the scenes never manifested to the front meaning no one will be any wiser. This little sketch was slowly cooked during one very long night of preparation preceding the beginning of the show. It's so good to be done but equally sad to not be in New York.
