   One of the things I enjoy so much from Mike's work is his ability to inject humor/whimsy into his art. 
   Take for example the Galaxy 7 sketch in this post. The scene is from "Return of the Jedi" in Jabba's Palace after Luke Skywalker's battle with the Rancor. In the original movie, Malikili, the handler of the Rancor, is seen sobbing after Luke kills his "pet". Mike takes that scene over-the-top, having Malikili hugging the dead Rancor, mouth wide open, and crying loudly ("WAAAH"). Sometimes Mike makes the humor subtle, sometimes it's over-the-top. Either way, it always makes me smile. 
   Plus, who else even thinks to draw that scene? I have seen sketches of Malikili, and I have seen sketches of the Rancor, but I'm not sure I have ever seen the two together. Now that I think about it, that scene doesn't explicitly happen in the movie. The Rancor dies, Malikili is seen sobbing in the Rancor's lair, and then they cut back to Jabba dealing with Han Solo and Chewbacca. So Mike basically ad-libbed the scene perfectly, because if you've seen the movie, you can definitely see or imagine what Mike drew actually happening. 
   That's a wrap on this post. As always, thanks for reading!
