DG’s New poster
Roy Schneider, a fine musician as well as a talented cartoonist, recently retired from drawing his daily strip, The Humble Stumble. That meant he had time to do this tour poster for me.
Roy is about to put out his second CD, Roy Schneider and the Roadside Turtle Rescue. Watch for it on his site and on CDBaby.
