Stan

A bonus strip, outside the usual schedule. It's an in-joke for those in the know.

Stan is a supporting character in my neighbouring strip on GoComics, Snow Sez.., by T. Shepherd. If you haven't seen Snow, take a look - it's excellent. You'll find it at http://www.gocomics.com/snowsez And while you're at it, vote for Snow in the Cartoonist Studio's Strip Search competition and help Snow get a syndication deal. http://www.thecartooniststudio.com/CartoonStripSearch.aspx?name=snow

So who is Stan? Here he is, the first time we see him.

And here he is again

 

...and that's all you really need to know about Stan. Everyone knows a Stan, which probably explains why he's had an impact way out of proportion to the number of appearances he's made.

He's now started visiting other comic strips. He went to Canada visit Buzz, the catnip freak in Sooky Rottweiler last week and now he's crossed the Atlantic to bother Smith. Where will he turn up next?
