So sometime around July 2004 I got into this webcomic called Wigu [link] . It was a bizarre, hilarious thing about a little boy named Wigu and his weird family. My favorite characters were Topato Potato and Sheriff Pony, the stars of Wigu's favorite TV cartoon Magical Adventures in Space, who would appear and intervene in his life at opportune moments.

Then in December 2004, the artist, Jeffrey Rowland, announced that by the end of the month he would be finishing Wigu and starting on a new comic project. It broke my heart! To console myself, I sketched out this little fanart doodle in Painter.

So Wigu ended, and for several weeks Rowland was doing this new comic called TV Network Channel. It was fun enough, but it just couldn't fill the little potato-and-pony-shaped void in my heart.

Then last week Rowland updated his site with words basically to the effect of "HAHA I really got you suckers, here is the actual new comic, MAGICAL ADVENTURES IN SPACE." [link] And I was so ridiculously happy that I screamed like an idiot, and then I went and finished that doodle of mine, and so here it is. The end!

I'd like to think that this is what Topato and Sheriff Pony would look like if they were rendered by Alex Ross... okay, maybe not.
