A year has passed for our friends who yet find themselves in traffic.
I thought that this piece, in particular, was a good way to mark a change for the strip. Obviously, it implies a couple of different things... which I'll leave up to you.
I wish that I could afford to spend this much time on each strip, but I can't. At least half of the time was just tweaking the colors.
This strip is also an ode to one of my favorite illustrators, Alphonse Mucha. In particular, his 4 Seasons print is pretty dazzling. I thought that it was an excellent way to show the passage of time, so apologies to the ghost of Mucha!
If you're so compelled, it's also available a 12x18 art print for $20. (Go there to see a larger version, too!)
The colors are more rich and warm in the print, and not to sound smug, but I'm proud of how it turned out.
And yes, that beard is getting gnarly. I'm trying to convince my mustache to go handlebar.
See you Monday.
