In lieu of actual quality content, I'm going to go with my usual half-assed modus operandi and just post a bunch of sketches and crap.
Among other things, I am a big military history geek. Years ago I drew an illustrated guide to the North Africa campaign in WWII - apparently I had nothing better to do at the time. Here, then are some pages from that guide instead of the comic book goodness that you came here for.

Oh Dave,
Please say that this won't be like the last Hiatus Week...oh wait, wasn't that more like Hiatus Fortnight-and-a-half?
I mean, your sketches are great and all, but we so desperately need you to continue to poke fun at crummy comics!
Come back soon.
These are awesome. Can't wait to see more. One question, though. The German word for sandstorm- is it 'Ghibli' or 'Ghiblu'?
I love Hiatus Week! Raa-haa! Syrup!
Whoops, I meant to say "Ghibu".
Well, they didn't call Rommel "The Desert Fox" just because of his sweet, sweet ass!
Dave,
It seems youve created a beast. And now that beast demands comic reviews at all hours. Thats the price of fame my friend.
Good work by the way!

As I understand it, the Germans and Italians called it "ghibli" which is based on an Arabic word. The British used the Arabic word "khamsin" which means "wind of 50 days."
Wait! I'm on hiatus! Damn it! I'm not here, ignore this.
Hey, you made me learn something! That's not what I came here for! Screw you, man!
I happen to like hiatus week and all of the airwolf sketches* that ensue.
*Crawlin with krauts--another alliteration. Say, I just learned hisory and grammar all in the same post!
Just when I thought Mr Campbell couldn't get more Airwolf, he busts out WW2 sketches. I'm starting to wonder if Dave is a mirror-universe image of me, since our interests match up so well. The difference, of course, being that his version of me got all the writing and drawing talent. You mirror universe bastard!
I am kind off excited for hiatus week. I think that as a rookie "Dave's Long Box" fan I need to spend some nights crying myself to sleep over the lack of Dave. Tough love.
I hope this isn't another Haitus Season like last time was.
Dood, you should collect your North Africa campaign cartoons and sell them. I bought the graphic novelization of the 9/11 Commission Report, and that isn't nearly as funny as your sketches.
BREVITY...BATTLEAXE...CRUSADER.
Good times, good times.
Rommel you magnificent bastard! I read your book!
Y'know, if you've done a bunch of comics about North Africa during WWII, I wouldn't mind seeing a review of a Battler Britton comic...
Have you ever read The Cartoon History of the Universe? Your approach is similar to Larry Gonnick's, in a good way (and I am not suggesting you're ripping him off).
Meh. Sorry, Dave. I liked the Alpha Flight story way better.
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行。
