My heroes.

I'm trying hard to do things that aren't journal strips or my supervillain stuff.
Here's something :
The crazies on the street of my town.

I want to hear about the crazies in your town.
If you say you don't have any then it means you are one.

I live in this little town thing about an hour away from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The only crazy person i can think of is this guy who's got a cast on his leg and sits in a wheel chair on High Street. I've been told he's an undercover cop but i have no idea if that's true. He looks like a bum.

I love all these stories !
I particularly like the idea of pointing at the sky and ranting about the government.

And there is one more drunk guy that I can't believe I didn't draw !! He's a guy that needs a comic of his own though.

I found you through the Daily Grind. I adore your work. I figured I would finally speak up.

At the bus stop in the town where I go to college (Spokane, Washington), we have all sorts of crazies. But we call them Spokies.

I got sort of yelled at once for not giving 50 cents to a guy who was wearing costume camos (they could have been real camos, but they are waaaaay too big for the guy. My friends and I are convinced he got them at a thrift store). I felt bad for not giving him the change, but then he started talking crazy-speak about "Do you know what it's like to be homeless? I do, because I am. Do you know where you're going when you die? I'm going to God's house. Are you?" and so on and so forth. And then my friend and I were just amused and weirded out.

I've been given a free shirt by some guy before from a hair salon (not a Spokie, but it was weird). I've been approached by a guy with a small sign, but I averted my eyes and kept walking.

And those are just the people I remember right now. ...I am glad I won't have to ride the bus as often next year.

And I'm sorry my first comment is so long (I didn't have time to write a short one). I love your work! Keep it up! I'm cheering for you.
