    Out of curiosity, why do Mikey's chucks have string now instead of chains?

    Interesting question- although I think I've been drawing them with strings lately I know Pete prefers chains. Does anyone know which is more correct?

    I think chains appeared earlier and much more often, especially if you count the cartoons, movies, and toys and not just the comics. I always assumed that the strings appeared because some of the Mirage artists started getting a bit lazy (no offense intended).

    The majority of the nunchaku that I have seen usually have a cord/s connecting the two sticks.

    This is pretty sweet, turtles in trenchcoats are always good. I especially like all the 'dangly' bits - his scarf, coat-belt, bandana, etc, and the flames are great too.. Its also cool to see the lighter pencils under the final darker ones - seeing what bits you changed from your 'guider'. Will this be coloured by Steve Lavigne, I wonder?

    Yup- Steve Lavigne will be handling the colors and yes again, that's fire that Mikey is falling into.

    Vaughn- I'm surprised and honored. If you're going to be in San Diego, perhaps I can hook you up with something pencilled for you to ink and color if you wish.
