A Hundred Dollar Drawing. I attempted to combine Captain Kirk of Star Trek, The Captain of The Captain and Tenille, Cap’n Crunch, and a captain’s bed. Did I succeed? Not my problem!
“The Captain” for Pamela
“Happy Yogi” for Lisa
“Flying Squirrel” for Jack
“Cartoonist’s Armcandy” for Mark
This Hundred Dollar Drawing was commissioned after I posted B. Kliban’s classic over on fecebook:
Of course I and other cartoonists claimed that our lives are just like this, although I specified that my “arm candy” was different. Mark apparently wanted to know how, so now there’s this.
“Triking Adventurer” for Gary
Gary got a Deluxe Hundred Dollar Drawing package with all the bells and whistles: shipping of the original, a making-of video, and a picture of a bike, for which I now charge extra. Still, this drawing isn’t quite finished, as I left room for optional customization of the pennants and shield (that thing on the luggage carrier, behind the seat, on top of the pannier).
Update: here’s the final, custom-lettered version:
Bicycling is not a “Hobby”
It may be transportation, exercise, or a reason to live, but bicycling is not a “hobby”.
However, the following are:
- collecting bikes
- tracking miles
- recording your speed on various devices
- scouring online classifieds for more bikes
- writing about bikes
- singing about bikes
- converting people to recumbents
- reading bike forums
- researching the fascinating history of your bike(s)
- buying and selling used bikes
- planning geowriting routes
- collecting bike tools
- arguing about bikes
Glad to clear that up.
