These sketches were done during the winter.
I really like winter for two reasons demonstrated above: 1) It’s nice to huddle under a blanket and travel across landscapes of pixels, and 2) It’s fun to bundle up and travel across landscapes of snowflakes.
Unfortunately winter somehow makes me curse like a drunk high school teacher and draw cats really badly.
When I first attempted doing a daily sketchbook comic in 2007, I kept it up for 98 days before quitting.
Yesterday, I drew my 100th comic since I started anew in early January 2010.
Of course, this all still pales in comparison to great cartoonists, such as James Kochalka (whose love of video games I share, and I totally hope we can be pals someday.)
Nonetheless, it is a small victory for me, and I will be discussing it on CBC Saskatchewan’s Afternoon Edition at 4:15pm CST, Wednesday, April 21 — 540 am, or 102.5 fm. You can also listen to a live stream at the link above.
I hope you’ll join in and have a listen using the miracle of radio waves (or, failing that, the wonders of the Internetwork). This business of doing a comic strip every day has been most humbling and enlightening. Plus it’s been fun, making the the appeal of a lifetime of cartooning all the more inviting.
Also this comic was done after drinking wine and playing Beatles: Rock Band.
