Come with me and take the plunge.

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Chris Flick
The holidays are way to busy to keep track of more than one thing at a time, and this past holiday was probably one of the busiest I’ve been in a long time. That’s why I completely forgot to mention the most awesome package I received in the mail from Chris Flick, creator of the Capes and Babes web comic.
I really like envelope art, as it always amazes me that people take the time to decorate their packaging for something that is essentially a throw away medium. In this case, I think I’ll be keeping this package around for a while.
So what is in the package? You’ll have to tune in to the next Major Spoilers Podcast to find out!
