Premise Beach

This has been a lousy week, so I’m essentially taking it off, but you probably already figured that out.  Next week I’ll be back in full force.  Sorry gang.

Did you know that other than comics, I draw things?  Things for people?  It’s true!  For instance, here’s a poster I did for local band Norris’s upcoming Southern Ontario “Fall Fail Tour”.

If you’re in one of these towns, or at least close enough to drive, I highly suggest hitting up one of these shows.  I’m not really a metal dude myself, but even I can agree that it’s objectively good stuff.

I was feeling a little down yesterday, working on the strip, which might show in today’s strip’s laziness.  Call it birthday blues, or post-coffee crash, or social isolation even; the point is, I was mopey, and frustrated over my lack of headway on the comic I was working on.

It was about 10:00 at night, and I was working at my university’s newspaper office, where I’m the staff illustrator, in addition to being responsible for the majority of the comics page.  I decided to pack it in for the night, as I didn’t seem to be getting anywhere, and went to catch the bus.  Once I had taken my seat, I looked out the window to the bus next to mine.  I saw a girl sit down, newspaper in hand, and immediately flip to the last page, AKA the comics section.

In summation: way to go, random girl on a bus.  You da man.
