This might be a little off-topic, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of this recent Scary Gary strip. Scary Gary is about a vampire who retires from a life of bloodsucking and moves to the ‘burbs with his not-so-trusty henchman Leopold, a 3-foot-tall green… um… something. It’s written and drawn by Mark Buford, a friend of mine who also lives and works in metro Atlanta.
Scary Gary is relatively new in my paper (the Calgary Sun)…I am absolutely addicted to it and am looking for a ‘collection’ book somewhat like Calvin & Hobbes has. Please convince Mark Buford he would make a killing on this and the timing is absolutely perfect with vampire mania. This will appeal to both teenagers and adults (which I am), so he may be able to afford that villa in Tuscany much quicker! Please email me back that he will make a book of his best Scary Gary…it would make my day!
