Season's Greetings!

Once again I haven't made a Christmas card, or finished my New Year's card (and by not finished I mean not even started). Fortunately I have the Gladstone stash to delve into.

William Van Horn drew many fine Duck comics for Gladstone during its run, as well as for Disney Comics during their license and many many more for major European publisher Egmont. Bill does gorgeous work and I always enjoyed coloring his stories--even the ones with five billion snowflakes.

Bill sent two hand-drawn Christmas cards to us comic wranglers, the one top to the office staff in the mid 90s, and this one to Gary and I not long after Gladstone stopped publishing for good at the end of '98. They're great mementos of a memorable time.

To all who celebrate Christmas, may it be peaceful, content and relatively stress-free.
