Patriotic Shirts
We are out of town for the 4th weekend. We are in Tulsa at a hotel that faces the Arkansas river. We’ve been here several times for fireworks. It is great here, we are surrounded by many things to do and we can see several fireworks shows from here. Even if the weather turns to rain we can see the river from our hotel window.
The cartoon is actually from this morning when we were getting ready. 3 of us put on shirts that had American flags on them. My oldest daughter came out in one of here favorite shirts she owns, a Union Jack. While I like the UK and love their I just maybe of all days she should wear something else. Anything else!
I was hoping to do a lot of cartooning on this 3 day weekend. However, I somehow managed to leave the house without my Wacom pen. So I could only “draw” with a horrible portable mouse. I got the toon done anyways, whether good or not you have to be the judge. If I had my Wacom pen I would have taken a crack at drawing some fireworks in the last panel.

Wacom Pen…. Never leave home without it. Comic looks good anyway but I do love my pen. I spent all weekend giving myself art lessons and I hope some of them show up in tomorrows comic.

Well, funnily enough, I’m with your daughter Barry – and it’s got nothing to do with the fact that I’m British. I truly am all for national fervour and loving the country you’re from (heaven knows it’s taken me long enough) but July 4th is sooooo much more than just a day for Americans.
For example – it is also my daughter’s birthday and not surprisingly is waaaaaay more important
