Absinthe (part 1)

After the first glass of absinthe you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world. […] Three nights I sat up all night drinking absinthe, and thinking that I was singularly clear-headed and sane. The waiter came in and began watering the sawdust.The most wonderful flowers, tulips, lilies and roses, sprang up, and made a garden in the cafe. “Don’t you see them?” I said to him. “Mais non, monsieur, il n’y a rien.”

So today I come back to my love, Oscar Wilde. This is going to be a very short comic (two parts), but I’ve been thinking of it for too long, and I need to show it to someone or I’ll explode haha. Next part will arrive next week, I hope. When you need to do something, you just do it, and this regularly happens with me and Oscar. Sometimes I just have the urgent need to draw him and so I do. :)
