meme me, part two

After Tones' very sensible suggestion I've taken a couple of bodgy photos of my "10 years ago" comic. Not the best but they'll do. There's a heart-on-sleeve warning with this one. May contain traces of emotion, confession, sex, drugs + rock n roll. I was 22. It was an eventful year. C'mon. Gimme a break.

Oh this is so great! I love the second set of panels and I really wish I could see the first set a bit closer up!

This so good Claire - it's so funny to see people before you knew them but can still relate....got to pull my finger out.

As for relationships sigh- they are hard work or does that mean you're not compatible...just read 'Brida' by Paulo Cohelo and am thinking soul mates are a good thing and relationships might not be meant to last a life time - if at all.

Is the garden place with Kim the perfect score at Karaoke?

Thanks for the positive feedback guys - I loved this little project! I could be nostalgic AND creative. Reflecting without wallowing. Genius!

As Amber pointed out - the first set of frames is still not opening properly. I have no idea why. Damn technology.

Tones - I'm with you on lifelong monogamy. I reckon it's a rare exception to the rule. But I do have a big store of bitterness + hindsight backing me up there ;)

Romance on the other hand... long + strong!

And I think my last place was the perfect karaoke 100 for me. Viva la Gong! (Or at least Holley + Ethan, Flatmates Extraordinaire.)

Aw man... a meme challenge! Damn! Okay, but comics really ain't my thing so a little guidance might be in order?

Maybe:
--animals I've known
--weird shit I did when I was a kid
--things I loved when I was a kid
--ways I've embarrassed myself

Whaddaya reckon? Actually scrap the animal one. I can't draw animals, what was I thinking?

And PS: I never remember you turning down a smoke!

hey claire,

glad you liked monkey punch dinosaur. any chance I could trouble you for a contribution? I know monkeys are animals but you could draw them as just hairy men or soemthing...
