A very special gift (And a Big Thank You to David Petersen!)

There’s a long story about how I got my nickname, Mouse. I won’t get into it now. (Some of it is kind of boring. Some of it is top secret. Some of it is just downright silly.)

But. (But!)

Knowing well how I love certain mouse-y type things, our dear friends D. Bunnyhunter and the Lady Otter went off to the New York Comic Con this past weekend.

You can imagine how excited I was when they came back with a bag of goodies for me from David Petersen, creator of the Eisner-award winning Mouse Guard series.

At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, Mouse Guard my favorite comic book of all time.

David Petersen’s art is beautiful and his writing is top notch. The story is classic, packed with adventure, and appeals to both kids and adults. If you don’t know him, definitely check him out.

Read his books yourself. Read them to your kids.

The best part? (No, not the temporary tattoos. Those were a close second.) When he signed my hardcover, he drew my very own mouse for me. And it’s a chef mouse! Here’s my book:

And here’s my mouse!

I couldn’t be more excited�or honored. Thanks so much to Mr. Petersen, and to my dear friends for bringing me such a lovely gift.

Where to buy David Petersen’s Mouse Guard

Cheers!

What sweet friends you have! And that cute little mouse does you justice. Although i’ve never heard of him, my six year old son loves comics, i’m sure he’ll love reading this.
