In honor of Alex Toth's Birthday, we announce "Creator's Day"

On this day 86 years ago Alexander Toth was born.

In the profession he chose to make a career in, his art, his life's work, was initially thought of as a throw-away - mere guides for animators or entertainment for people in a monthly comic book. Something to be consumed for a short period of time before something else new was brought out into market to replace it.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is Alex Toth's birthday.

Come back tomorrow, June 25th to celebrate and see what we post.
