November/December at the childen's theater

Hi patrons,

This first postcard took me two tries to lay out. This was my first attempt. (Excuse the poor picture quality; this is what I texted to Barry asking if it worked.)

Because action in comics usually goes left-to-right, Barry had thought that the techies were carrying things out of the building. I had to find a way to show that the mom and the guy carrying the pine tree were on a collision course while making it clear that the Rudolph flats were going into the building. I tried this sketch to see if it was clearer.

It took awhile, but I'm really happy with how the drawing came out!

These cartoons (true stories) are from a satellite location, so I get a whole different color palette to work with:

When Portland schools have Fall Break, the theater offers Wizard School, a day camp where the kids role play. It's also my personal fashion week.

The Education Director pulled me at the last minute to be a bird-guardian at the end of a scavenger hunt. I didn't entirely understand what she had in mind, so I opted to be a silent bird-guardian and let her do the talking from behind the box office door. Some kids tried to communicate by making pigeon noises at me and it was super cute.
