Thank you!

This should have been posted a long time ago, but Comic-Con really wiped us out. It was exhausting and both Julie and I came down with the dreaded "con crud". Julie has still not recovered. Added to that was a big deadline crunch. Physically, we were over-stressed and working at a snail's pace.

Anyway, I feel better, and we turned in one project on time, and I'm halfway through issue 6 which is due in 10 days.

Thank you so much for the Usagi Yojimbo Tribute Book! It is wonderful, and so much more than I could have expected. The packaging, with the perfect binding, is beautiful. Thank you so much, Steve, for spearheading, coordinating, and financing this. All the contributions are terrific, with my favorite part being the "About the Creators" section because we got to know a bit more about each of you. And it was good to see Amy's work again.

This was truly a group effort, and I thank each of you for this marvelous gift on Usagi's 35th anniversary.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for his 50th!

I'm brushing up my skills to contribute to that 50th Anniversary Tribute Collection, I tell ya!

Congratulations to all on a fine tribute. My copy arrived recently, and it will retain a special place in my collection.
