New Diet? It’s a No Brainer!

New Diet? It’s a No Brainer!

Although the dialogue is brand new, I first used this art in 2010. That was the year Mike Pascale and I started doing Halloween comics together. Eventually we branched out into doing Thanksgiving, Christmas and holidays comics. But this art was in that first 2010 batch.

Happy 12th Creative Anniversary, Mike!
