Better than TV - 22/03/08

I had one of the most relaxing Saturdays in recent memory. Went with Lyndsay to see friends newly with a child.

Liesl, their nearly four month old, passed out on my arm like a napping airplane. She is adorable--that's such an abused term, but so she is. Who'da thought crying, soiled nappies and spitting up could still be so fascinating (mostly it was the reward of her occasional beaming smiles...)?

Anyway, saw a picture of this guy in an art magazine and just liked his slightly wall-eyed, crazy old man look. Doodled this while trying to figure out who did what to whom, where and with what in Cluedo while the baby napped.

One more day to crank before heading back to work on Monday...

Friday Warm Up - 21/03/08

Just trying to get the muscles going before I get on with the comics panels of the day. Found a new use for photobooth on my MacBook Pro though...

In other things, one a completely unrelated note, for those who didn't see or hear the full version of Obama's speech on Race and Religion on Tuesday, listen to this man. He truly may be one of the great statesmen of this generation. I know everyone wonders if he's been properly tested in hte crucible of international politics; but no one freaked out (except for the reactionary wing of the Republican party) when we elected a no name governor from Arkansas with little international experience to the White House in 1992. If you can get past the inappropriate fellatiography of the man and his intern, he did some good work in trying to bring peace both to Ireland and the Middle East.

Check it if you get a chance...
