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 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 a Mexican grey wolf named Travis.

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

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