Steven Weissman (a.k.a. “Ribs”) is probably best-known for his Yikes! series, published by Fantagraphics.  His crew of movie-monsters-as-children go on mundane adventures made extraordinary by the characters’ monster-ness.  Part Li’l Rascals, part Peanuts, part “dang, I wish I’d thought of that!”, Weissman’s comic kids balance adult situations, childlike resolutions, and idiosyncratic spelling to rock my comic world. If you hadn’t guessed, I’m a total fan.

I’m pretty sure I own everything I could find that Steven has published, so I recently bought some original art and had one of those awesome “hey he’s a real person” moments that helped me get past my star-struck-ness, and I asked him to do a print with us. Thus continues the awesome!
