The Old Rebel and Pecos Pete! I remember them!! I grew up in Burlington, NC, and their show was the one on which I saw Clutch Cargo, Space Angel, Felix the Cat, and Diver Dan.
I absolutely MISS your paint your own cell kits. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish that Spümco would either release some more, or rerelease the ones that you'd made previously. My god, I LOVE your doodles. The sketches you make while you're on the phone are pretty good too.
I like this little sideline blog...

Hey, you should scan it and post it!
