DECLASSIFICATION NOTES

Unlike my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather, Abel, or Ninja Dan – I don’t grow facial hair. Maybe my genes come from mom – who knows, but I’ve never had one and all attempts to put some sort of rugged hair in that space have been futile.

Imagine growing up, the giant poster of Abel Choking Hitler in your bedroom. Every night after I wrapped my little hands together – I prayed to be like Abel. And THAT INCLUDED THE MUSTACHE, FAIRY GODMOTHER!!

When I “grow it out” it is like a freshly shaved lamb. You can almost feel what could be.

I want a mustache. A beard. A goatee. I’d even settle for a bum tickler at this point… even enduring the likely comparisons to Shaggy & Maynard G. Krebs.

NEWS!

    Dan, this is truly the first comic you’ve drawn that has actually scared me.

    The up close picture of Eben07 is truly frightening, I agree with Wolf.

    If I never see a close up like that of Eben’s face, It’ll be too soon.

    I heard ninja Dan’s smile drives away rain clouds, and his tears cure cancer. or was that another red bearded man.

    HAHAHAHAHA that page is brilliant! Love the Spumco-esque close up of Eben, truly creepy and grotesque! And the acting and dialog is once again fabulous :) You boys are really out doing yourselves!

      Sweet, yeah, I was totally riffing on the obscene close-ups from the Ren & Stimpy show. I was worried–a little–how the close-up would go down, but I was actually more worried that the little outline of a razor would be a little stupid. I think it works, however. Thanks for the comments, Lauren and everyone!
