NEW STRIP :: TRUE TALES OF INTREPITUDE: Chris Holston And The Flaming Snowman
February 2nd, 2009 — 08:47 am
Christopher Howe Holston is one of my oldest and best friends. Among the group of friends I’m a happy part of, referring to something as “Holston-style,” or “pulling a Holston,” or “only Holston would think up something crazy like that,” is a necessary part of most conversations. The thought processes the dude brings to the world are nuts, but beautiful nuts. He’s also a member of the crew of Bullship, if you’re musically inclined. I’m listening to their latest album right now, as a matter of fact.
I could go on in this vein for quite a while, but you really need to know the dude. But when you do a weekly strip that’s really just an excuse to practice making comics, you can choose ANYTHING YOU WANT as a subject. It’s personally pleasurable to me to talk about my friends, so this week I introduce to you my man Chris Holston, aka “Ghostwind,” aka “TIS I! THE DREAMWEAVER!,” aka “Firefly.”
In other news, I have a backlog of non-DHARBIN! strip work to get done over the next three weeks, so I’m going to try and do much simpler strips during that time for my weekly, or I’ll drive myself crazy. I mean, I do after all work full-time, too.

I keep coming back to look at this. I love it.
And it don’t hurt that Holston’s a HOTTIE.

Oh, Oh, Oh!
I only have, like, words that consist of, or start with “DUDE!” Or “GREAT!”. From the fact that you’re making a habit of portraing your friends in the most charming way, to your totally C-R-A-Z-Y ability to make strips that are both technically- and reading- fun, you’re making my favourite weekly comic!
I don’t read the sunday papers so this is my weekly cartoon and I L-O-V-E it!
DUDE!

I know he called called the local Fox news team about this snowman, I just can’t remember if they actually did a story on it or not.
Definitely a classic Holston moment.
