Bad Puppy

Readers rem 't seem to gel enough of Contributing Editor Boh Hlavacek's fanciful intarsia creations. Although Boh produces a wide range of designs, from lifelike African wildlife to caricatures of our favorite backyard bandits (long-time subscribers wilt recall The Knothole Gang raccoons from our May/June 1992 issue), his most 52
