Ugly Hill Guest Strip

As I download the awesomeness that is the new Alter Bridge album, I wanted to mention the guest strip that got posted today.

I can only really call a handful of webcomics "favorites", but Paul Southworth's Ugly Hill definitely ranks on that list. It shares a lot of the same traits that I like about Brinkerhoff. It's clean, sharp, and snarky, with just enough cruelty thrown in to tickle my twisted funny bone. When I saw that Paul and his wife welcomed their new offspring into the world, I knew he'd probably need a hand with the comic, so I took the opportunity to send him an unsolicited guest strip. I figured he'd probably lean on his Blank Label mates to help him out, but I sent it off, anyway, even if was a thank-you/congratulations gift from one staunchly hetero-cartoonist to another.

Here's what I got from him a day later:
"Thanks! I could use a few more guest strips to round out the next couple of weeks, and yours is SO GREAT. They look like little Ugly Hill figures! I really appreciate you taking the time to do one for me, and will run it with pride!
Paul"

No, Paul. Thank YOU. And congratulations, again.
