We got mango!

Cousin Matt displays a mango embryo.

The smallest mango tree has a few mangoes! Last year we had two on an older tree — one which was eaten by humans, the other by birds. The older trees were pruned in the winter, so I expect that we’ll have to wait until next year to see if they will respond with fruit.

All of two pieces, but it was great to talk to Ernie at a couple of San Diego Comic-Cons before he passed in 2012.

Ernie Chan was a Filipino-American comics artist, known for work published by Marvel Comics and DC Comics, including many Marvel issues of series featuring Conan the Barbarian. Chan also had a long tenure on Batman and Detective Comics. Other than his work on Batman, Chan primarily focused on non-superhero characters, staying mostly in the genres of horror, war, and sword and sorcery.
