Now THAT is a wonderful, entertaining way to make an equally-great point. Thanks for that!

By the way, just found your blog thanks to one Chris Sims and his ISB...and I can't stop going through your archives in an ill-fated attempt to catch-up on all things Little Stuffed Bull. You rock, Bully!

By the way, how come there's no credited penciller on this issue, but two writers and two inkers?
