By ComicsKingdom Admin

Hello, Royal Readers!

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas… in Hi and Lois!

This week, we learned that the Barney Google & Snuffy Smith cartoonist found some wonderful Old Time “Milk Glass” Christmas Light Ornaments of Snuffy Smith and Loweezy Smith on eBay!

Intelligent Life: The Sketchbook 

We hope you love taking a peek in the sketchbook of Intelligent Life cartoonist David Reddick as much as we do here in the Kingdom. This time, he has posted a drawing of Gwen – and a postcard from his earlier days of work at StarTrek.com. Talk about a diversity of subjects… Check it out here: http://intelligentlifecomics.com/
