Weekend Adventures: Nostalgia Edition

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Weekend Adventures (notice the grammatical conundrum the title presents), and since I’m leaving Delhi, it seems like a good time for some out-takes from my year here.

The empty, bombed-out floor in my old office building. I used to love running away from my desk to come stare out the windows here. And play ominous post-apocalyptic music in my head.

More post-apocalypty goodness

The sentiment is understandable.

If meals at 3:30 A.M had a name, this would be the best place to have them.

The 'Computer Man' mascot we saw all over Uttarakhand.

Professor Layton and The Lego Man from an old birthday gift I made.

He's famous, apparently.

En Route

So, yeah.

Anger is pretty rare for me, and even in the unlikely confluence of events that leads to its manifestation, my facial muscles tend to confuse ‘latent rage’ with ‘wave of nausea’. What they should be doing, cheeky little bastards, is putting on convincing public displays of affectation that agrees with the boiling fury inside: you know, clenched mouth, heavy breathing, fist thumping and the likes.

Instead, my dubiously  confident friends conjure a combination of facial twitches better suited for attempting to keep your lunch inside. People usually ask me if I’m feeling okay when they should be cowering in fear, or reaching for their defensive apparatii. This tends to confuse my anger a bit, and it usually retreats to under the metaphorical mental dining table, where all my other mental states (who are all mental haha) sit around eating ice cream and talking disjointedly about….i dunno, balloons or something.

So, why am I angry?

Well. I’ve been working this job, you see, for the last few months, and I’ve been really enjoying the work in itself….it’s exposed me to a fascinating set of viewpoints and opinions that have not so much affected my wordview as firebombed it. repeatedly. (Why I’m making this sound like radiation, i will never know).

But shit has happened, as it always does, and things are a bit difficult right now. I know the blog has suffered for it, I’ve hardly had time (and place) to draw, or think, or play. I promise a larger, and more straightforward update soon: but let me sum it up in one sentence. I’m broke, unemployed, homeless and shifting cities.

Right then. Enough of that. Have some comics, internet peoples!

No Weekend Adventures

This weekend, I was at work. Phooey.

..but I did manage to finish this:
