something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

the work of Alex Toth, one of the greatest examples and teachers in the world of comic art. I have recently come across a couple of new volumes devoted to discussing the man and his work, and I devour such things avidly. The more I learn about him, the more I realize that I would likely have found dealing with him as a person quite trying [newest revelation: he was a Rush Limbaugh listener, which tells me much I'd rather not hear].... but also the more depth I find in his work to guide and inspire me.
