Notorious Crackpot

What did Eric and I work on before Supergirl, you didn't ask. Oh... lats of stuff. One of which was the creator owned "Kid Gravity" that ran in the pages of Disney Adventures for several years. This is just one page, and it's from many years ago. Don't judge us to harshly. Anyway, during the time we were working for Disney Adventures, Eric and I would frequently attend conventions.

And the universe of Little Gloomy and the universe of Kid Gravity are connected parallel realities. So it makes a certain amount of sense. I guess.
