I should point out that while Adam is not above making a snide remark, as evidenced in today’s cartoon, he was also very concerned about me being too cold and many times offered me his jacket, despite the fact that I apparently thought I was above wearing my own. In the end we were walking enough that I didn’t really freeze, but it was definitely a mistake. The weather here has been all over the place…totally unpredictable…though I enjoy fall (my favorite season) and generally enjoy at least the first half of winter, I’m not loving the 60+ degree afternoons followed by 40 degree walks home a few hours later. On top of everything else it makes it impossible to plan a wardrobe.
The only thing I hate drawing more than me, is drawing cars. Fortunately I had so many unattractive word balloons to squeeze in I was able to leave limited space to actually draw the car. Perhaps I should have stretched this comic out over several days, because really, it both looks terrible and even more crazy things than that happened, hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.
In the end the guy hollared at me so much (and started to get out of his livery cab) that I ended up going back to his car and letting him give me his number, if only so he wouldn’t get out and follow me (my apartment was right there). When I got up to the apartment a few minutes later Adam saw the number in my hand and I had to relay the whole silly scenario. Suffice to say he made me throw out livery cab guy’s number.
Okay, I’m going to post daily again this week. I admit however, that I enjoyed this much less this weekend (though I got farther) and I also did almost no writing…so I’m not sure drawing these silly little comics (that I’m not enjoying as much now) is actually time better spent than on other things. It’s certainly better spent if it’s instead of TV watching or random internet surfing, but if it’s instead of writing…and maybe even reading…I’m not sure it’s worth it. Maybe I’ll feel differently by Friday…we’ll see.
Anybody do anything great this weekend? I saw No Country For Old Men…it was AMAZING. So good. The only negative, without giving anything away, was that I felt a bit ripped off in the “showdown” with Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. They were both so amazing and there was such an intense lead up to those confrontations…I have to admit feeling a bit robbed, otherwise a pefect film.
