Got a "Thank You" to pass along.....
« on: September 11, 2006, 04:46:34 PM »
Just wanted to publicly thank Stef and Mike for keeping things going with a great new book, and terrific strips every week!

I also want to send out a personal note of thanks for my new avatar!   Great job!!  I love it!  I know I've said so privately, but I want to make sure everyone knows that it's your wonderful handiwork and kindness that has gifted it upon me!

Thanks so very much!!

Sincerely,
Bob - (aka Ted Stryker)

HA HA!  :D

Looks like Stefan captured you very (very, very) well!  ;)
I had to go back in the archives to your picture and to see where the Trekkie thing comes from, and it's AWESOME!
Perfect fit.


Kudos to Stef!   |:)\  |:)\  |:)\

Could this be a new character in the strips as well?

It looks cartoon-avatars are all the rage here huh, now at least three new here, both Stryker's and Firegirl's new avatar is very cool!  |:)\
Ok mine isn't actually a bird, but at least it's a pilot, and I like his outfit too, have had a yellow shirt like that too, elegant and different at the same time, no idea where to get such a cap though.

It's almost spooky how well Stef was able to do that! :) :)

Stef did mention something about making it a character at some point, which, naturally, I'd love to see too :) :)

I like your new avatar too, firegirl!  Very cute... and animated too!!

THANKS!

I was looking for something different since mine hasn't been working for some time. I wanted to get something
"fire-girl-ish" but when I found this one I just HAD to use it.
It fits the forum and is just soooooo cute! (like me, he he  ;) ;D )
That's exactly the way I dance ! !  HA HA

Gasp! Could there be anyone out there that doesn't know Baloo and his Seaduck!?!? That's Baloo from Disney's 1990-91 tv-series TaleSpin (which also featured Shere Khan and Louie).

The pc-game Crimson Skies always struck me, and at least one danish pc-game magazine reviewer, as TaleSpin with humans basically, at least in terms of how the world was and what era we were in, where planes and not cars made America! Sniff, brings a tear to ones right?

Ah!!!  Okay... I knew it was familiar from somewhere!!  It's been ages since I saw that one :) 

I have seen the ads for Crimson Skies, but have not yet played it.  I'll have to give that a whirl as well.


Firegirl....  I'm with Mike... one of these days we have to throw a Chicken Wings dance party some night at Oshkosh or something!  If we can get John Travolta up there with you, you could do that dance for us!  :)

Ah, you made a second post before Firegirl posted, my response was for Mike (and of course jokingly in the start, I see I forgot to add a smilie to confirm that).

For the dance then don't forget to bring Julio and get him to do some Electric Boogie! (Please don't anyone ask what that is, I already feel old with all this grey hair :D)

Uh... you mean today?   (in Alaska)    ;)   It's hard for cars to compete when they can't get there!


About that "Electric Boogie...."    ;D

I have to say, all the Avatar's they've created for people are great.  The Star Trek uniform, and the character in general for yours, however, just blow me away.

What he said,  they are all amazing.  And well, I have nothing original too add, it's great work.

Thank you guys for all the flattering remarks!!  |:)\

Actually Ted's avatar was not so hard, because he gave me a lot of ideas that I could choose from. I like the way it turned out though too!! It would surely be great to put this owl into a strip sometime... We'll see!

Oh, and I LOVE Firegirl's new avatar too!! Even better than the last one! Where do you find all these?

Check out my new Avitar  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

it's a resize of a pic I found on the net of a German Shepherd manning (dogging???) the Mini gun mounted in the door of a helicopter. I thought it approriate since My girlfriend and I rescue unwanted German Shepherds and I just thought it was cool  :D
