Thank you Steve for the cool UYD card I just received.
Haha Usagi wearing a mask...love it!! Awesome Stan art inside the card as well.
I know I haven't been around much here on the boards lately but that card brought a smile to my face... I had to log in to say hi and how much it meant to me to receive it. Thanks Steve, Stan and everyone here at the Dojo!
Take care everone...hope all here at the Dojo is all doing well!

I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a card yesterday. Thank you so much, Steve. 2020 was a difficult year for me even before the pandemic, but there are still bright spots.

Peace, maka

I am pretty sure I sent one to you as well. Hopefully, it is just taking longer since a lot of the post offices are running understaffed currently.

If I remember correctly, Stan did some sketching while visiting Japan back in 2009. I remember seeing this piece for sale at the 2013(?) Gem City Comic Con (Dayton, Ohio).

So I am a physician in the Chicagoland area and have seen a fair amount of life altering things happen to people since this pandemic has started. The disease itself is scary. The aftermath to all this will be scary. However, I received the Usagi card in the mail a few days ago, and it just put such a smile on my face. Outside of seeing my family, that hasn’t happened much lately. It just reminded me of all the good and generous people out there in the world and provided a bit of levity in difficult times. So I just want to say thank you and stay safe everyone.

All the best to all you Dojo clanmates. Peace, maka
