This Makes Me Happy

I've been out of the loop and haven't checked out a couple of my favorite comic-strip blogs (The Comics Curmudgeon and This Week in Milford) lately, so it came as a cool surprise when I finally took a look and discovered that Rod Whigham is the new artist on Gil Thorp. I've always liked Whigham's work...it's not the kind of flashy, stylish artwork that creates a "fan-favorite," but it's good, solid storytelling. Plus, he's an Atlanta artist, so that gives him a little home-town support from me. I'd recently wondered what he was up to lately...and now it's good to know.
