My last post mentioned a little "inside joke" I snuck into the "Presidents and Precedence" tale that leads off our third issue. That joke was subtle and had some great backstory regarding my relation to Civil War General George McClellan, a story which I think was worth telling.
"Presidents and Precedence" has another hidden joke in its pages, and I'd like to say that there was some deep meaning behind it as I feel I've set the bar at least somewhat high; however, they can't all be winners. The title of this series, of course, is Teddy and the Yeti. In the scene pictured above, where the Yeti is being attacked by mechanical constructs of historical figures, we see none other than a representation of 26th U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt (Duane drew him biting the Yeti, which I think is spectacularly funny). Teddy...and the Yeti. Get it?! I know...this one was much more obvious. But I've got the original art to the page hanging in my house, and I still chuckle at it every time I see it, which it quite often. Maybe it's where that FATE Magazine article came from.
