As always, ideas for cartoons tend to come from real-life experience. There have been times when I’ve been so tired that I start putting things in the wrong places — much like Punjee does here. However, this comic strip was actually inspired by someone else, and it’s not too far from reality…
This strip was colored with watercolor gouache, which is essentially opaque watercolor paint. I think it has a better effect than the watercolor pencils I used for the previous comic.

For this year’s Spring Break, I went on a road trip with a friend of mine down to my uncle’s cabin in Northern California. We stayed there for three days and drove back up along the coast (through the Redwoods). This comic was partially inspired by conversations we had in the car during the trip.

I decided to try experimenting a little with panel layout in this one. The silhouetted panel was fun to draw and nicely mixes up the visual rhythm.
