Hagar the Horrible mini-messenger Bag by Solsisters

This mini-messenger bag I made up a while ago is going to a new home. Of course, it's always nice to make a sale, but this one has a bit of a twist. The buyer asked for my number so he could give me his credit card over the phone. So he calls and tells me that it's Chris Browne, son of Hagar the Horrible and Hi and Lois cartoonist Dik Browne. His father passed away and he now draws the Hagar comic while his brother Chance draws Hi and Lois.

Chris says he remembers when this fabric was licensed and was tickled to find a bag made from it. He wanted the bag for his wife and would have been happy to buy three more if I had the fabric to make them. Shame mom just had the one yard piece!

How fun is that?

***Update 11/09*** Chris says that Carol loves the bag.

Krystal, that is just the coolest!!! I love it when things like that happen.

I'm also sending you some "good move" vibes.

Hang in there.
