Little Sarah Wert from my MCAD days, way back when, is all grown up and getting married. PJ did the poster and, well, I want to go. Congrats to you and the man.

Ladies, can you imagine getting this kind service for yer big day? Well, princesses, you can now: PJ’s the cat’s meow. Literally. He’s a cat person and let’s those rodents climb all over everything. You know what the say about cats, eh?: “Fucking things sure aren’t Garys.”

Some drawings and sketches from the man’s deal. Wow. And one final moment of greatness from Hoss’ operation.
