If you remember my con report from New York Comic Con 09, you'll remember the amazing amount of help I received from Mike Ciccotello during that hectic time.
Mike has been working on a comic of his own called Schoolhouse Daze. Schoolhouse Daze is the story about a group of misfit animal children and an escaped lab-rat who attempts to educate them.
I get such a "young Berkeley Breathed" vibe from his linework. It's really a joy to watch the strip develop. I know he's planning to spend a little time hanging out at the Evil Inc table at Wizard World Philly this weekend. So, if you like his work, you can stop by and say so to his face.
