Sunday Comics - "Ryan & Cynthia"
This is a comic I drew for my friend Ryan Mitchel-Morrison's 27th birthday present. Posted here with his offhand permission.






These JPGs show the comic booklet about life-size - each page is 1/12th of an 8.5x11 sheet. I stayed up all through the night before Ryan's birthday party to complete it. I tend not to draw quite that feverishly these days. Perhaps being newly unemployed will help. :`[

On the night I conceived and drew this, I hadn't seen Ryan or Cynthia in weeks, barely knew them to begin with, and couldn't remember what either of them looked like. The first drawing of Ryan grinning maniacally and clutching the peacock is a decent likeness, but I failed utterly to recall and portray Cynthia's habitual, very distinctive, Aeon Flux-like hairdo. Actually, I should contact Cynthia and mention I posted this, make sure she doesn't object or anything (seems unlikely, but I never did get to know her well).

Oh - the last panel refers to the other part of the present - I taped two of those expanding-sponge-dinosaur-in-a-pellet-that-you-drop-in-hot-water dealies to the back of the booklet. Dinosaur tea, you see.


EDIT: I'm annoyed with Egypt.
