Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, I've been travelling europe, promise there'll be plenty of comics for all of you when I finally settle somewhere with a scanner.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, I've been in brisbane, enjoying the experiences that the most awful city ever has to offer. If you are from brisbane and offended by that comment, stop being so awful.

This comic was drawn on a one dollar sketchbook because I forgot to take my moleskine with me when I went out to draw in brisbane.
