Howdy Fellow Warriors, Michael here.

Long time no sketch. From me, at least. I’m hoping to change that this week.

But before I return to crush all of you into a fine sketcherific powder I wanted to point out an impressive undertaking by a fellow sketch writer.

Sketch Field Marshall Joe Janes has challenged himself to write a sketch a day for the next year. Joe’s a teacher at Second City and Columbia College here in Chicago, as well as a performer and all around swell guy. Just reading his pieces will be like getting a free class in the art of writing sketch comedy. I know I’ll be tuning in every day.
