Howard Tayler and Schlock Mercenary RULE!

[seawasp]

I've mentioned the incredibly cool webcomic Schlock Mercenary here before, but I must mention it again, as I have just received one of the coolest gifts it's ever been my privilege to recieve.

Howard sent me a piece of personally designed and autographed original artwork. I will post it for all to admire (if Howard approves), but it shows how considerate and wise Howard is. He recalled my vast and intense loathing and detestation for General Xinchub, and supplied me with a picture of the fat waste of space getting his comeuppance -- at the hands of the just-recently-heroically-deceased Captain Tagon. So I get two things -- Xinchub Humiliated and an exceedingly cool pic of the Captain -- both for free!

(I'm not even sure what I did to earn such a lovely present, but when I find out I'll try to duplicate it!)

Wanna see

Can't you at least post it at too low a resolution for it to be stolen?

P.S.: You don't know what you did to earn it? Huh.

If it's high enough res for you to appreciate it, it'd be stealable. Just not printable on high-res. So I won't put it up until Howard gives the thumbs-up. (I'm pretty sure he will, as he himself likes posting up fan art and so on, but it's his characters.)

And no, not exactly. There's a couple of possibilities, but if he emailed me the precise reason he owed me the art, the letter isn't appearing in my archives. :(

By all means, post it. It's cool enough to merit display, and you have my permission.

Well, I'd lay good odds that those great books you wrote and your appreciation, fandom, and general plugging of the OvalKwik-y goodness that is Schlock Mercenary probably helped (at least a little bit).

Hey, I wanna see this...if only because of my physical resemblance (sort of) for Xinchub, which led me to do this costume (http://www.tronguy.net/Xinchub).
