From the recent archives (I'm out of state and without a scanner--but I am sitting at a SBUX right now, and the free online access is working!).

This is the one I was trying to post yesterday. Sheesh.

I know. You're dying to see the end of the first "Rock N' Roll Lifestyle" strip. It's coming (problems with the captions).

But in the meantime, here's this!
(Dang, I've spent almost an hour trying to get this to upload...I'll try again in a bit.)

(OK, I gave up trying to upload my good image. Here's a cast-off, three hours later.)

We interrupt our presentation of "Rock N' Roll Lifestyle" to bring you your daily drawing. From San Diego!

My, do those southern Southern Californians know how to live....

Something a little different today (oops, looks like I'm a little late posting).

It's a new short comic strip I'm calling "Rock N' Roll Lifestyle." You can see the first page (of 2.33) on the World Famous TuesdayArtGroup (or TAG) Blog.

Check it out!
(Now this post has GOT to bring a Mike D. comment...Mike? You out there?)

Watch for this woman in the upcoming one-off comic strip, "Rock N' Roll Lifestyle."



YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT.

He is just hanging out...

...at the Douglas St. SBUX.

(It must be said that, despite a heavier customer flow in the AM and an older, more claustrophobia-inducing store, the Douglas St. crew are among the most personable and efficient in my now vast experience of the SBUX chain.)

You remember their manager, don't you?

Karen Tumulty again (remember my very first post??), but this time on crack, and with runaway mascara.

The word "mascara" means "mask" in Italian or Latin, I think.

Clearly she is running from her own pain.

p.s. NOT a dig at the real Karen Tumulty (who I love and who has a great last name and who we enjoyed watching just last night on Washington Week with Gwen Ifill)--no, this was a brassy and blowzy look-alike bellying up to the Starbuck's bar for her morning coffee.

This one I really like. The drama of ordering your drink and waiting for your drink, and the unsympathetic stares that may greet you.

Did I post this one before? It had fallen thru the cracks in my file structure, and then I saw this same girl yesterday for the first time in months (she works at the Douglas St. SBUX)(I thought she'd quit). This was drawn after a very very early morning encounter where she was extremely upbeat.

I've gone backwards in the blog to see some of the older images, and yesterday Blogger wasn't loading them. That's the kind of service you can expect...for free.

I checked again last night and the images had come back. Phew. This is all for posterity, you know.

Y'know, the dang thang about it is I've got lots of drawings from the last couple of weeks, but I haven't posted them.

These fellas were all genuinely spotted this AM at the notorious 'Gundo SBUX.

Not Erik Therwanger.

No, not even close.

She didn't really look this friendly.

That's an un-ironic statement.

Just when I reach the age where a sense of self-irony could really help me...

...I find I have none.



Might it be her problem, too?
