Then the autographed copy I just bought must have been a regular edition which was then autographed by everyone on the cover. It has been so long since I looked at the original copy of the Trilogy Tour II comic I bought, I must have forgotten it used a heavier paper stock for the cover.

Yes, the regular edition did have a card stock cover. There was also an edition of 1000 copies signed, on the cover, by all 6 of us--some had even more than 6 signatures. We were signing these at the end of the San Diego Con and we pulled some of our friends over to sign a few. It was the end of the third con in a row for us, and we were a bit goofy. Some people must wonder what Billy Tucci, or the Comic Bag Man, or Sergio have to do with Trilogy.

The hardcovers were signed on an interior tip-in plate.

That is really good

How long did it take to make, by the way? I've read that animation is REALLY painstaking (about 1,200 frames are needed for a few seconds, apparently)

Oh, wow! I've been gone too long!

That second one is really spiffy, ne?

I'm glad you did more, I was really hoping, and that was great!

That is really cool. The stylized Usagi really lends itself to animation. Great job!

Thank you ! ^_^ !

Yes, please add a little " Usagi Yojimbo TM & copyright Stan Sakai"

I just added the legal mention.

The images were originally found in The Usagi Drawing Book

Is there some Usagi Drawing Book available ? could i have a numerical copy if not, i could try to make another booklet into flash animation.

i would reply some nights cause it was a first time for me, and i tried to do another things (just have a look to my precedent posts) but i think it could be done "easily" now (it is just limitated by my drawing ability...)
