Back in March, I was chatting with my friend Alan about the upcoming Avengers: Endgame. As conversations can go sometimes, we got silly. I suddenly threw out the idea of taking the scene with Hawkeye and Ant-Man in Captain America: … Continue reading

Marcus To
Another Dill sketch that I procured at Toronto Wizard World in 2011. This one’s by Marcus To, known best for his two-year run on Red Robin, a DC pre-reboot DC series. In terms of size and girth, To probably nailed … Continue reading
