Clarence Eckerson, Jr. is not the only talented Eckerson in New York. There’s one more winter storm expected to hit the city this weekend, and Gary Eckerson of Bay Ridge (Clarence’s brother), has six panels in anticipation of the occasion. Enjoy.

Word is the Eckersons are searching for an off-Broadway venue to stage “Sneckdowns: The Musical” in winter 2017.
