this smith comic i did in my sketchbook while i was in pittsburgh in november. i miss living out in those woods.
lately my sleeping schedule is completely erratic. it’s been consisting of me going to sleep around noon and waking up around 7 pm, then staying up all-night and working. drawing in the wee hours is one of my favorite things. the solitude and quiet is really nice. it feels good to be around people but i think i get some sort of spiritual renewal from being alone.
sunday night i got together with a couple of cartoonists in town that i met on meet-up. com. we met up at a chain coffee shop on riverside. it was a surprisingly enjoyable experience. i haven’t had any chitchat with other dudes about making comics in a while. the nice girl working there gave me a free re-fill too. sweet. after the meeting i was supposed to meet my friend johnny at some bar but when i went out to start my brother in law’s car it was acting sluggish. after a few seconds it died right there in the parking lot. i called johnny and he came over and gave me a jump. it was only a few blocks to my sister’s house but the car kept dying on the way there. finally when we got to my sisters neighborhood instead of jumping the car for the fifth time johnny just pushed me home with his car. johnny thinks it is the alternator. stephen’s other car was making a funny noise so we went to wal-mart and dropped some steering fluid in it. that seemed to do the trick. i couldn’t believe it was that simple to fix. it is a little crazy here because my sister is going to have her 4th child nay day now. i have given up on going out for the most part. the only time i do leave the house it is to hang out in one of those coffee shop/bookstore chain stores. i have mixed feelings about going to atlantic city. i am leaving in three days. there is some excitement about traveling and getting to see my friends in nyc but there is a little stress and then some disappointment in missing my sister giving birth. in general i don’t think i am a very caring, affectionate uncle, i usually hate kids, my sister and stephen’s are pretty cool as children go. today i was reading a moebius blueberry comic to one off my nephews. i pointed out that blueberry was the good guy. as soon as he heard this my nephew declared “i’m blueberry”. he’s a funny kid. he was playing with my hair the whole time i was reading to him.
for some reason a few moments ago i was reminded of a funny incident that happened the last time i was in la. i was sitting in a jack in the box and some lady came in who was infuriated that she didn’t get enough ketchups when she went through the drive through. she kept threatening the people there and saying that they were lucky they were behind bulletproof glass. watching people get pissed off is pretty amusing sometimes. this lady was actually a little scary.
hey check this out. my buddy brandon got a cool review on the
