Thank you about inking comments and I wasn't kidnapped. 
I"ll repeat my admiration for JAB's vision and unique talent, add awe for Moose's coloring skills, and express an understanding appreciation for your and Vibor's part to the visual opera. Back in my callow youth, one of my high school jobs was working for an aerospace company as an engineer's assistant which involved a lot of chasing problems, running blueprints, sharpening pencils(!), etc. If I got all that done and was very good, I got to trace on vellum special drawings. This was before mylar even to show how old I am, and I used India Ink in Varistat pens, with straight edges, triangles and ship's curves raised off the drawing with thin slices of cork.
If the pen slipped or the edge touched the work or you slid over a wet line, the whole piece was ruined and you had to start over.
Lettering was done with a Leroy set, also with India Ink in small pens on a little tool with engraved alpha-numerical guide rulers, and you had the chance not only of smearing, but mis-spelling. Not a job to do when you were tired.
You youngsters probably will have to look this up or ask your grandfathers what I'm talking about.
Mainly, youse guys do good work, and obviously have taken your skills to an art form.
Thank you and cheers
