Yes, it’s the Return of Lily and Rose. Been a while, and this reunion is not starting off on the right foot.
I really went all out on the page composition today. It just hit me from the very start how I wanted it to look. Weird how that happens. For a full view of the background plate, click the thumbnail to the left. Yep, no tires on the car as who would see them? As you can tell, it takes a bit of back and forth to figure what goes where, but this is essentially how I roughed out this comic. Nailed it the first time.
New to this storyline? Over there in the right side-bar is a link to the first page of this story. The thumbnail of this story’s cover. Read from the beginning and enjoy!
Also, if you’re new to the comic, you may not know why Bud’s car is a hand-made convertible. You can find that comic by clicking the comic’s thumbnail below. They were heading to California and Robyn wanted to go in a convertible, especially since Jeff’s convertible Firebird had just blown up.
A lot of new people joining the site, so lots of things to catch up on! Book orders go out this weekend. I’m sketching each commission then inking them in the order I received them. Yours is coming soon! Family time with Spring Break and the Easter Weekend ate some of my time, plus a had a brochure to design for a client. Silly customers wanting stuff done on time. Man…
Two more pages then we hit a new story! Stay tooned…
How about a little Supertramp for your Monday. This was my theme song for a while there in the late 70s… “Some they will some they won’t and with some it’s just as well.” “Breakfast in America” was their best album IMO.
***********************************
happy easter fman. and belated happy anniv!
Love your composition on this one and the background. Now if they could only find the tires, they might move this thing.
OHHHHHH That is all kinds of bad
Breakfast in America was a great album… haven’t heard it in years! Also really liked Crime of the Century. Loooove prog rock!
The boys are DEAD MEAT! 😀
There’s 4 Times! unless i missed one.
I’ve already said it elsewhere, but I’ll say it again – the composition here is frakking AWESOME. And so many little touches that really make the artwork *move* (which is more than can be said for their tyreless car, heheh).
LOVE Jeff’s expression in the penultimate panel!
Supertramp YES!!! Saw them in concert in 82 in St Louis. What a show, except for the announcement that the band was breaking up, One of my faves is Fools Overture from the Paris album
Oh shit son.. They are gonna get it. lol
finally done with the whole archive! awesome comic man. kinda sad that i have to wait for updates now.. on a side note, i kinda forgot about rose til now!
Minor nitpick, but the car is not a hand made convertible, it is a top chop or a roadster, a convertible implies that the top can be put up. Pet peeve of mine, I own three convertibles and I hear top chops called convertibles all the time.
And I like how your drawing style has evolved, very nice work.
Did Jeff inhale the joint? O_o
Talk about uncanny occurrences, Synchronicity Department. I read the page above, and just as I arrived at the last panel, the compilation sound file I was listening to kicked right into “Birds Of Fire” by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Great strip so far, by the way.
