Welcome to the Gorge, Chris! Glad you approve. It’s different from Moon Town, all right. Dunno if that makes me versatile or unstable. WHOOSH! heh heh…

Tink – Leo’s a Great Blue Heron, though I think you’d be hard pressed to see that from the way I’ve drawn him.

Heya, Tink. Wow, no… I would never be so immodest as to think I could outdo Walt Kelley. I just grew up on a farm with a ton of animals, and when I sat down to write a strip, this is what came out.

Leo wasn’t directly inspired by The Loon, but when I was learning how to ink, I looked at a lot of Jeff MacNelley’s stuff, so who knows? I think you can see his influence in the trees, the leaves, the lost-and-found ink line, the fat brush lines. I’m actually surprised more people don’t ask me more about Shoe than Pogo.

Leo’s based on a bird we had in the lake on the farm where I grew up – a Great Blue Heron – though I doubt anyone would recognize him as such…

Oh my! RoboDad and I did that once! We had a fabulous time watching un-editotially abused LooneyTunes and Merrie Melodies all day. Killed off a cheap bottle of wine RoboDad had brought in to celebrate midnight. Is Leo a stork or a whooping crane? Ya done did gud stuff there, Og. Ain’t no flies on you, buddy.

You gotta know I really like this series, too. I wonder…was it inspired as…a better “Pogo”? And, was Leo inspired by “Shoe’s” the Loon? He looks like a Nathan Fillionized (long legs, bushy hair, big beak) loon passing for a stork. I Lovethat crazy ole bird. And I Loveyerstuff, too, Og.
