Description
Is there anything more incredible than your favorite artist immortalizing your high school creation in a piece of art? I don't think so.

Manix, one of the few people who owns a copy of the complete Super A-- Hole collected addition, a book he has called "the greatest comic of all time", has captured the goodness, the simplicity, and yes, the a-holedness of the champion of freedom, justice, and helpless kitties everywhere.

I have included an additional image to show the reference that Manix used for the text at the bottom. I lived in Portugal in 1996 and this comic is a reference to the São João Festival in Braga where people hit each other with little plastic hammers and eat lots of codfish (bacalao) and sardines, thus the references you see in there.

But you really don't need it to bask in the awesomeness that is Manix. I'd be hard pressed to find a greater, more personally valuable piece of art in my collection than this one. I will put in my will that I wish to be buried with it, my dead arms clutching it to my chest to be discovered by a future race of people ready to worship at the feet of the greatest hero of a generation - Super A-- Hole.

Done on A5 Khadi paper in watercolor with sparkle paint for the A.

You're not only the Fan Club president, but you're also a client.

Cool commission. Completely off topic, did you by chance happen to visit a psychiatrist while you were going through high school? Just curious....

I'm just wondering how Josh knew Kasra in high school and put him as the bad guy in the strip?

Is this going to be the variant cover on the reprint edition?

Your character immortalized and Manix-ized!!  "Here comes the a-- to save the daaaay!"  :)  Congrats!

What are the odds that a mystery sketch request goes to the one artist who actually owns a copy of the comic?  I smell something fishy... (other than the sardines).

And congrats!
