SCORE: ORIGINAL BRUCE TIMM SKETCH!

You know me.

I'm not shy.

I'll go up and ask

ANYONE

to draw me a picture.

But I'm not quite sure why I

never asked this guy:

Uh-huh.

Bruce Timm.

The man that

re-invented 

the sooper hero

cartoon when he created

Batman: The Animated Series.

He made a show that was

ART

instead of just a 

toy commercial

(which was unheard of at the time)

When I came to LA 

to make my first pilot for 

Cartoon Network

I used to see Mr. Timm sitting outside

the building doodling in his sketchbook.

I always wanted to introduce myself

 but I never did.

So I never got a drawing from him.

UNTIL LAST WEEK!

My kids' school had their annual soopergiant 

silent auction

and look what was there:

PERFECT!

AMAZING!

GORGEOUS!

AND

NO

ONE

WAS

BIDDING

ON

IT

!!!!!!

So I got this 

original marker sketch

of

Harley Quinn 

for

NOT

a million dollars...

NOT

$200,000...

But

forty bucks.

$40!

What fools 

these mortals be.

In other news,

if you wanna learn more about

Bruce Timm 

and his work,

this book is

kinda awesome:
