I wanted to use it, but in my very brief searching, the only copy of the image I could find was much too small.

Thats not Gilad. Thats actually a character from one of his "Storyteller" books I think.
Thanks for helping make my point. :)

If SHooter and Layton had a beer, vented, and had a hug moment that would be cool, because VALIANT was at it's BEST when they were a TEAM. BWS was cool too but not nearly as big a contributor as they were.

David Lapham was awesome too, wayyy underated

Arrrgh!!! You have no point!!!

A lot of poeple look like other people in this world. In BWS' world those people just hang out a lot more frequently with each other! Its just a coincidence!

You look like Gung-Ho------Doesn't make you a GI Joe!!! :!:

I'm very happy to hear that Layton is doing projects for VEI. I would certainly be in favor of him coming back as more than work-for-hire. BWS would be cool, but I don't know how likely it would be for him to return given recent reported behavior.

I also agree with nickvasallo that if Shooter and Layton could work together again, then VEI would have a far greater chance of making a true impact on the industry again.

I think time has healed the wounds somewhat, but I'm not sure if it's enough to get them working directly with each other again.

Maybe we could all pitch in and buy the beer for those two - it might take a bit to get them to agree on something!
