Description
Taking a break for a little while from the comic work because between a full time job, full time classes and life, it's safe to say I'm burned out. All my artwork this week has been purely for recreation and mental relief, including this one, which has become something kind of special to me.There's a fantastic and lovely voice actress named Katie Leigh, who even though she's not a household name has been in an awful lot of things people my age especially have loved. She provided voices for the Smurfs, Pound Puppies, Alvin and the Chipmunks, My Little Pony, Dungeons and Dragons, Totally Spies, Muppet Babies and a slew of other things, but the most meaningful and beloved for me was her role of Connie on the Adventures in Odyssey radio show, and watching the original My Little Pony with my wife we both agreed she was pretty adorable as Fizzy. But as Connie, Katie managed to do a couple of things that is pretty rare for an actress to really do well; she inspired me to be a better person, in my daily life, in my faith and just in general. She's made me laugh harder and cry harder than a lot of people tend to portraying fictional characters, and when I contacted her to present her with this very picture she was an absolute sweetheart, which is also a special blessing for me.
So with love, respect and appreciation my wife and I dedicate this one to Katie. You're the best!

Heh, glad you like it. It was very personally thrilling that Katie herself liked it too, a long time fanboy's dream come true

Absolutely, because I really meant every word of it and honestly it does me a lot of honor We're just so glad you're in our lives the way you are, being a voice to characters and feelings that have giving us a lot of joy. I am absolutely not kidding you but I was at work off by myself doing something and was listening to the AIO episode where you all had thought Mitch was dead. All you had to do was say in a weeping voice, "I love you, Whit", and I was instantly crying my head off. That's pretty special, and it means the world to me. So thank you again, you need not ever doubt the impact you and your family in the voice world have made on me and my loved ones.

She's so distinct and fun to listen to, she told a story once that she was fired from a grocery job because the boss hated hearing her voice over the speaker system Seriously what a jerk.

Wow, having a custodian job must be really hard when you don't have hands.
