Just to let you know: the updated Sketches page is coming soon.

Also, I found something cool recently that I thought I might share with you guys. A few months ago a mob boss was arrested, and they found a piece of paper containing a list of ten "commandments" for being a good mobster. If you're like me, you think that's the coolest thing you ever heard of. I was going to do a one page for the Extra Comics section (which I hope will someday have a lot more in it) illustrating these commandments with Jackie and Nona, but I couldn't really think of a good way to do that. Here they are anyway.

1. No-one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don't go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife's about to give birth.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.


How badass is that? (Answer: SO badass.)
