Elephant Town Chapter 3 (pages 9-12)
Added 2020-08-31 04:18:31 +0000 UTC
Partially true story, back when some friends worked at a hippie restaurant in my hometown. A patron sent back a bowl of hummus because it was giving off "bad vibes." The waiter politely returned the bowl to the kitchen, had his coworkers hurl insults at it, and brought the same bowl back to the patron, who was pleased with his new and improved hummus.
The service industry's a racket, but they sure get some good stories.
(I was gonna add a backstory about Creamy Neil, but there's a chance he'll make an actual cameo later, so I'll leave it 'til then. ;)
**sorry if you got this twice! the first one looked like it didn't go through!

I sense a thickening plot! (gotta say, the ciggie-pitching in the last panel is making me twitch. I presume that's on purpose....)

Nevermind. LOL *Everything* about this is so damned perfect. I feel like I'm eavesdropping from a car in the parking lot. You've already made these two come to life and the apartments are really beautifully rendered.
