Many thanks to Sue Daigle-Leach for her outstanding work coloring the dream sequence panels of this story. Having Sue pitch in allowed Diego Jourdan Pereira to take a needed break and it gave the dream sequence panels a fresh, rich look!
Although Sue has colored many of my Disney stories over the decades, this is the first time I’ve worked with her directly one-to-one. It was a real pleasure and I hope we can do it again sometime.
Next Friday, Abby awakes!

Happy Presidents’ Day!
I know George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are the presidents usually associated with this holiday. But I wanted to do something different. And I really like this quote by F.D.R.
