      @fpaynter: Do you have Loïc’s number? I have a really good idea I want to talk to him about. Sorry to “take over” your comment thread, but it doesn’t seem too busy around here anyway :-) I’ve just drawn 489 of what I think may be my best cartoons yet. I have an important project coming up but I can’t talk about it yet. Stay tuned. Rock on! Let’s get together for a beer. I’ll give you a wee ring the next time I’m in Madison. D’accord?

    2. D’accord, and I don’t mean to bore, but look at the dirt under the fingernails of this gritty artiste!
