I Wood if I Could
As much as I love good “link” blogs i don’t link to others much, but try and provide original content on the Arf Lover’s Blog. Gotta let you know, though, about the terrific Wally Wood post by the esteemed Bhob Stewart. The general public was exposed to the beloved cartoonist Wally Wood when he did the great print ad for Alka Seltzer.

Or should I say, “Wood!”
