There are many creatures to be appreciated in the mountains of North Carolina, where Jen has family with whom we often visit. They’ve seen bobcats, wild turkeys, snakes, bear poop and coyotes, (or at least heard from them.) I’ve only seen woodpeckers, humming birds and butterflies, thankfully.

Transcript
Panel 1: On a mountain highway, an SUV has stopped and a woman leans out the passenger window, looking back at a slithery reptile on the road. “That was a snake!”
Panel 2: Inside the car, the woman says to her husband driving, “Go back and get him.”
Panel 3: The SUV’s tire runs over a none-too-happy snake.
Panel 4: The man says, “I’ll be,” as the snake multiplies into two snakes.

I knew I forgot something. Thanks, Anonymous! Should be working now.
These are so great! I’d love to have these in book form…you have to collect these and publish them! This would be a great kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/ project.
That’s very kind of you and encouraging to hear. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with these just yet, but Kickstarter certainly opens up the possibilities. I’m just trying to stay focused on making them, at the moment. A constant battle!
People should definitely check out Brown Comics. “Joy” was like a good poem, quite moving.

Yes, definitely focus on creating them! The other stuff can be worked out later. Thanks for the kind words on “Joy”…I’m just getting back into creating, so I appreciate the encouragement 🙂
I’m just getting back into the swing of things myself! The internet’s actually been really nice about it. 🙂 Looking forward to the next Brown Comic!
