As most of you know, we lost one of our own on the 15th, but I only found out on Christmas Eve, of all days. That someone was  d0c, a friend who could crank out some creative stuff.

But did you know he was originally going to be the artist of Carpe Diem? It's true. The comic was going to be called DOC'S GYM, and the main character was going to be an apatosaur named Rob.

When Doc couldn't commit to a comic, I got his blessing to create an alternate version of Rob, and he became the giraffe we know today as Josh.

Tomorrow, we visit the inspiration for Burt. See you then!
