I could never figure out how to pronounce that name.

Is it "Mar-tin" or "Mart-in"?

Hey! I have that comic (the Gnatrat one). I'm not sure if I've ever read it. I should go make sure...

Yay Mark Martin, whatever happened to that cat? I learned how to bracket black negative space around the whites of big pearly teeth from that fella's work, which has subsequently served me well working in games and on toys. Funny how much mileage you can ride out of one technique. Like his Live Nude Dancer stuff as well, esp. the over-sized one.

Cheers for the flashback!
