MERRY BRUTMAS & HAPPY LOU YEAR

Continuing his longtime holiday tradition, LB has once again distributed an original Christmas card to his close personal friends with a cheery message of “Merry Brutmas & Happy Lou Year!”

For 2010, the card pictures Brutus as the Grinch Who Stole Christmas complete with Max the Dog and Mount Crumpit in the background. The card was illustrated by Lou’s longtime artistic co-conspirator Alan MacBain. “I’ve done so may projects with Lou drawing him has become second nature. Yet I don’t think I’ll ever get over having to illustrate his monobrow. It’s…unnatural,” said the obviously shaken artist.

Want Alan to illustrate something for you? You can contact him thru his Facebook page here.

The card was done in a limited edition of 100.

In the article he covers Lou’s new comic book, Facebook work, Twitter presence and, of course, this website. Chuck refers to Lou as a “mold-breaking personality” with “killer insight” and other things that will surly inflate Lou’s already massive ego.
