Welcome to:

Linkspam time! This time, because I love you all (well I always do, but I'm less tired now) my links will have CATEGORIES. And ACTUAL TITLES. And COMMENTARY. Maybe. Some of them. WOO.

Yes, it's that time again. The time when I post AWESOME ART from comics, that is. WHEE!

John K. Snyder The Great has sent me his art for the final covers of the A-Team prequel comic (issues 1 and 2) that is coming out soon. SWEET. Also he sent me a hilarious page from MAD Magazine (not done by him, but fun nevertheless).
