If you're ever in Halifax do yourself a favour and stop by Strange Adventures...Cal runs a shop the way I wish more businesses were run let alone comic book stores. Super nice, super helpful and he knows comics! I've done a few signings out at the store and have honestly never seen such a big turn out or encountered such friendly groups of people in my whole comic book career. On the first free comic book day Cal organized the handing out of free comics at the movie theatre which was then showing the very first Spider-Man movie. Is that not awesome?!
So, above is the drawing I did for Cal's birthday last year...which honestly doesn't begin to repay him for all the great things he's done for me. And below is a picture Cal sent me...a customer of his works with the UN and on a recent visit to Darfur took along a copy of the Spirit! Apparently the kids loved it so much they insisted on keeping the comic.
Doesn't this picture just make you happy? It makes me happy!Have a happy day, ever'body!
best,
j.

DAMN.. that SPIRIT piece is absolutely amazing...!
I'd love to see what you do with an issue of the book solo... it would be fantastic!
I'm with Mike: That's a terrific SPIRIT image. By the way, I's delighted by Jett Vector in CF07, too. Bravo to you, Mister Bone.
Cool story.. And a very HAPPY story, like you say!
So when is ole Dar gonna finally get a Blog, eh? Not in our Lifetime?..
J. That's a very cool story/pic from Darfur...
What an honor. :D
Agreed. Cal rules! I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people on Earth because I get to work at Strange Adventures.
I love that birthday drawing.
Wow! That's fantastic. This proves that "The Spirit" has a universal appeal. Great work on that birthday drawing. The Spirit can't even catch a break on his birthday - how crummy! :P
Mike - Thanks, man. And you know I'd love to see YOU do an issue! I think your Spirit would be a lot of fun.
Uloo - Thanks. Glad you saw and dug Jett. He's one of my favourite people at the moment...in the "Imaginary People" category anyhow!
Rich - Darwyn with a blog? Har! :)
Paul - Isn't it though?
Rachelle - Indeed you are fortunate. Hooray for Cal!
Milo - Sucks to be the Spirit. Although I'm gonna guess that he was seduced into this trap by the mighty P'Gell and that ain't too shabby.

Uh, is P'Gell PREGNANT? Oh, Denny. We knew ya had it in ya!
