Happy Birthday, Howard. For those of you who don’t know, Howard is the creative force behind Schlock Mercenary, an outstanding science fiction tale told in webcomic fashion. Captain Tagon, the Touch-and-Go and Sergeant Schlock are all his characters, and if you’ll pop over to his strip, you’ll get to see them drawn properly. I’m sure he’d also appreciate your birthday wishes in the form of a visit to his Schlock Store!
Howard is one of the three cartoonists that inspired me to stop thinking about creating a webcomic and finally put pen to paper (or stylus to screen to be more exact) and make Slightly Off-Topic a reality. I’ve already talked about how I first met Howard and was introduced to Schlock Mercenary, and won’t add to that other than to say that his work is a constant inspiration and source of entertainment to me.

I call foul! You’re missing the words “ominous hummmmm”!!!!
Oh, and excellent likeness!
Thanks… and it’s true… I should have put in the ominous hum…
