So much for the "comic artists can't draw guitars" theory...

Just shows how much I want the show saved, but when I saw the thread title, I immediately thought it might be news about another network picking up Angel from cancellation.
It looks kind of like he might be just about to strum an open A minor chord.
I dunno. It has randomly spaced frets.
At least I have some idea of which model guitar it was supposed to be(Fender Stratocaster or knock off) and the Dave didn't do the generic rock n' roll cop out and draw one of those damned flying V style things...
I had to retype this many times. I have fat finger syndrome tonight. LOL.

For a good well researched look at guitars and their respective owners check out Mike Allred's Red Rocket 7 series. He draws everything from Les Pauls to Ricky 325s to Fender Jaguars rather beautifully.
I'll never forget how my grandfather, who ran an IGA grocery store at the time Human Fly #1 came out, gave the comic to me as a present and told me to "Hang onto it because one of these days it will be worth something." Even at the time I had my doubts about that, but I always appreciated the gesture.
(BTW, The other great thing about having a grandfather who ran an IGA was all the free Brachs candy I used to get

Just a few years later the whole Speculator Boom would be built on a gross distortion of that innocent thought. "A First Issue will one day be worth something!"
Yesterday afternoon I was in Richmond and I stopped in a comic shop to pick up some back issues, and I ended up in a three-way discussion with the store clerk and another customer about you, JB.
In the space of about five minutes (!) I heard the following: "I'll probably buy the JLA arc but I'm not gonna read it", "Let's hope Byrne's not inking it.", "Hopefully Ordway will tighten him up.", "What he needs to do is let Austin ink him again.", "I hear he's inking with markers these days." and, of course, the ever popular "Ahh...his old stuff was better."
I left the shop wondering how it is that such a talentless hack as yourself has managed to survive in this industry for so long?
