"This day's experience, set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside." –Alice Munroe, "What is Remembered"
Pretty cool! I wasn’t much of a Toth fan when I was younger, but I really like his work nowadays. He did a lot with just simple line work, and his characterizations were awesome. You could never mistake one character for another, which is probably why he did character design for animation too. This character, and the artwork, remind me a little bit of Ditko’s stuff. I say again, Pretty cool!
