talk about a high bar!
What, only ten years? Bill Holbrook hasn't missed a daily update for Kevin and Kell since he started the strip 15 years ago... and that's while he was drawing two other strips for the papers.
It's a rare artist that can match Howard Tayler and Bill Holbrook, though...
That was the same Con where Howard was wearing some really exotic looking boots -- all black leather and bright chrome. Which lead me to comment (not in Howard's hearing, unfortunately): "Howard Tayler... at Worldcon... with the Fancy Boots." (That was a "Clue" reference, for those too young to remember).
Of course, the other choice would be "Sergeant Schlock... with the Strohl BH209 (Ominous Huuuummmmmm)... wait, where's the body?"
