Hi, Gambiteers. It's been ages since we did a Saturday preview of the next day's edition ... but I liked the cover by New Orleans artist Vernon Smith so well that it seemed worth previewing:

In the cover story, Alex Woodward takes a look at the people who make the local comix scene. Elsewhere in the paper:
• Clancy DuBos reflects on the travels and the travails of Gov. Bobby Jindal ...
• Jeremy Alford profiles Scott Angelle, the interim lieutenant governor who's poised to take a larger role in Louisiana politics ...
• Will Coviello interviews Aaron Neville about his new gospel album and his new marriage ...
• Noah Bonaparte Pais on the legacy of Louis Prima and a Prima-vera celebration at Tulane ...
• Ian McNulty goes to Gretna to praise the pommes frites at Clementine's Belgian Bistrot, and offers five suggestions for where to eat a reveillon meal ...
• Missy Wilkinson breaks down some fashion gift ideas for the holidays ...
• ... and it's the annual Gambit Pet Adopt-A-Thon, with hundreds of pictures of animals looking for a new home. Like yours.
Have a good weekend. Let's hope the cold weather and "snow showers" inspire the Saints tomorrow. As for Saturday lagniappe, enjoy this Radio Shack cellphone commercial from 1990. Love that "leisurely lunch"!
