The Final Insult

March 10, 2009: “The Final Insult”

And that, folks, is how my Panama Adventure ended. Very Lewis Black-like. I’ll spare you the night spent in the Miami International Airport, as nothing really happened there apart from the discovery that the abbreviation MIA is very fitting. And from now on, I’ll get back to the 3-to-4-panel strips. Which will hopefully allow me to post several per week once again and work on getting caught up. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Homesick

March 10, 2009: “Homesick”

Another strip that took absolutely forever for me to finish. One thing I couldn’t find a way to include was my frustration and alienation over not being able to speak a lick of Spanish. I’ll know better before I travel overseas again. In the end though, I did get some level of compensation from American for their utter idiocy.

I hope to have the final Panama strip up early next week. That’s right, there’s yet another misadventure waiting before I escape the country. Stay tuned!

Buses

Done! And still barely morning Central Time! Have a good weekend.

Some sketches in the meantime

Some sketches in the meantime…

Last week was pretty hectic with my latest show opening and all, but
this week I’m endeavoring to get back on the comic bandwagon. Of course, the comic I’m working on now is pretty big (again) so it’s taking me some time to draw it. I hope to have it up by Thursday. In the meantime, since we’re finishing up the Panama story, here are some more sketches from my travel book. The big one is a composite of the plant drawings I made (as referenced in the last strip).
