Thanks to Michael* at Boots Opticians for suggesting this comic. Apparently this is why none of the chairs in the shop have casters.
*I have a terrible memory for names. I think he said Michael.
I don’t have a comic to post at the moment, so instead here is yesterday’s page from my sketchbook, I realise that’s not quite the same thing. We wandered around the V&A without a plan, and somehow the page filled with drawings of things that caught my attention. Later we went to a concert South of the River, out beyond Peckham, with friends.
Happy Hallowe’en to you. We were sitting in Broad Street in the sunshine today, next to the man drumming up support for the ghost tour of Oxford (which happens year-round, incidentally,) and this comic more-or-less drew itself. The colouring was supported by a slice of apricot and lavender cake at the Bodleian’s new café.
I wonder if ghosts find sunshine as spooky as humans find darkness?
Yesterday I took the day off work and we went into London to visit the Natural History Museum. Darwin says “Hi!”
Another pleasant day at the zoo (with baby Greater One Horned Rhinoceros.)
Happy Birthday mum for the 14th!
Here’s a little cartoon I drew for an audio hardware competition. Karen drew the basis of the organ console section some years ago. I adapted it for this purpose, and added the performer and the amp in the foreground. Wish us luck!
We went to an excellent talk yesterday at the Albion Beatnik Bookshop, by Jeremy Renals on the sub-genres of jazz. Most of the people in my sketch are jazzers, but a couple crept in from book-covers I could see in the shop.
More fallout from my recent experiences…
No comic today, but I wanted to share two doodles from my sketchbook. The second one I made at the hospital, waiting for a gastroscopy*, and perhaps then the theme is obvious. In hindsight I now understand the first one too!
I’m happy to say they found nothing! The doctor allowed me to turn slightly to look at the monitor, so now I have gazed at my navel from both sides.
