Four Years and Counting
Today is ParaAbnormal's 4th birthday. Thought fun to repost the first cartoon from Feb. 17th 2008.

Thank You John Wolfe
John is a well known Halloween prop artist and haunter.
I was introduced to his work years ago when my October decorating started to become an obsession. My old friend Rene e-mailed me that I should check out John's Seasons of Shadows website.
John's work intimidated me. I was blown away by his dedication to creating things of such quality and style that were only seen once a year. Beyond his own props, John often showcased other people's work and helped open the door to a larger world of talented Halloween creatives who, like him, elevate decorating to true art installations. I became a regular reader.
John unselfishly shared prop making techniques and even streamed live video feeds as he worked. This lead me to add more "how-to" posts on my blog.
When Para Abnormal was less than a year old, John wrote a wonderful and complimentary post about my silly webcomic. It was one of Para Ab's first shout-outs on the Internet and it kept me doodling when I thought no one was seeing the cartoons.
Sadly John has become extremely ill and has written a last and thoughtful post.
I wanted to take a moment and express my sincerest thanks to him for the all inspiration he has given.
