This one goes out to a couple of my fans aboard ship right now, somewhere in the vast seas. The Idea for the card came to me upon waking on Tuesday morning, and I drew it quickly, coloring it in Photoshop. I may make it a theme. This goes out to all who defend outr skies, shores and freedom, wherever and whatever service they are in. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. (Happy Chanukah Larry, you nut! ) Scott A. H.
