As I mentioned in my blog post last Friday, a bunch of my favorite comic makers are stepping in with some Cleopatra in Space guest strips while I finish up some projects and continue learning to be a dad.
First up is this simply wonderful strip by fellow SD7 crewmate, Dani Jones. I just LOVE this comic! And yes, I probably am bias since not only am I in it by also my son. But still- this is so great. Completely in tune with the personalities of Cleo and Khensu. Thanks so much, Dani!
Dani should be a household name by now when it comes to comics. Not only is she the creator of countless children’s books, short stories and the all-ages opus, My Sister, The Freak, but she’s also the brains behind The Illustrated Section- an online store for digital picture books and comics! If you haven’t already, I highly recommend downloading My Sister, The Freak Volume 1 (available now). Not only is there a great guest gallery in there by some amazing artists (also me!) but it’s a super entertaining story to boot.
This is such incredible idea and execution! Might as well close the contest – Dani clearly wins the internets today.
lol!! Yes, yes she does. :D
You and Dani get a great big AWWWW! I love this, and she did a great job on you and lil Mr. Prime.
You know, if Cleo’s that bored maybe she could come over and babysit. :-P
Hah! Would YOU trust Cleo to babysit? :)
Definitely NOT baby-sitter material … LOL
Point taken, though actually I’d trust Khensu to babysit… Still, better Cleo than, say, Conan the Barbarian, who used to stand over Robert Howard’s shoulder, tapping his foot and making unhappy-barbarian sounds if the writing was going too slowly.
I was thinking of it more of an excuse to maintain the social connection. It’s apparently all too easy to lose touch with friends who aren’t parents yet when you’ve got a small child in the house.
Epic win for Dani!!! (Love MStF too … ) Thanks Dani and thanks Mike for getting her in here. :D
