Today's 10th Birthday comic will post TODAY or else. Even if I have to post just the pencils. Then it'll be a two-day celebration as I keep drawing ALL NIGHT!

No, this isn't the 10th Birthday comic, it's just for fun...

2005! 2007! Noir!

Love it!!! Especially the nod to "Guy Noir." And Sweetums' transformation from cow to bear. And all the other yumminess!!!

I've been waiting 8 years for someone to make a Guy Noir remark!

:-D I've always loved that*! I just figured someone else had already beaten me to recognizing the reference!

Now that I'm on a roll, do I see NOLA on the wall in 2005? A post-Katrina reference? Or an obscure form (probably one of those pesky future imperatives) of nolo, nolle?

*and by "that," I mean the SPQR Noir design . . . holy cow, I literally only just now got that you substituted one color for another. *foreheadsmack*

Yay, it's noticing-references night! Plus your awesome icon!

"NOLA" does double duty. It was a deliberate post-Katrina reference, and it's in the original wall painting; Nola is a nearby location.

I've misplaced my good reference photo of the wall, and I'm having a hard time finding a clear one online now. The wall is now protected under a pane, so tourist photos all seem to have glare on them :)
