This was to have been the cover for the new Sketchbook, but I decided to do the tentacles one instead. About this time, Editor Diana called to tell me I was late for the cover of 116. Since this is a kind of generic cover, and Usagi is not appearing in that issue (it is a continuation of the Gen/Stray Dog partnership), I decided to send her the cover.
Tom did color the cover, but I neglected to remove the Usagi-head logo to make room for his signature.

I like this cover a lot.
I wish that it wasn't so difficult to buy new UY issues where I live. I was able to find some UY issues (and some Marvel/Epic-era Groo) at a comic book store near me, but they're not very good about getting new UY issues. Most of the time, I have to order issues from Mile High Comics or somewhere else in order to keep up with new UY (I usually wait until Mile High is doing one of those "$10 off" codeword deals they do a few times a year).
I like having a collection of UY issues, but I think it would be neat to be able to have a subscription to digital issues of UY that could be read on something like an Amazon Kindle (but with high enough resolution for the artwork to look good).

[Spoilers]
"The Outlaw" offered a rare glimpse, right smack dab into Gen’s soul as we witness his terrible
reaction to a good man felled for money. Ironically, something Gen himself was able to rationalize
away before he took the time to entertain his curiosity about the "killer" that saved his life.
Taniguchi’s act of kindness ultimately didn't pay off as well for him as he would have hoped, tragic
as it was, but the silver lining may be that it served an even greater importance to our friend Gen.
More on the story at my blog. Loved this issue!

Even Sergio enjoyed this issue. He even sent me a congratulatory e-mail:
"Amigo,
I just finished reading " The Outlaw" and as usual, it's terrific but
the ending is what makes short stories a " classic"...
The woodcutters have a lot of potential to write short, humorous
stories about them...
Again congratulations!
Sergio."
His usual e-mails to me are filled with ridicule and obscenities.*
*I'm just kidding, of course.
