HEAVE! He's got the cutest little dinghy in the navy And all the girlies know that it's so. The cutest little dinghy in the navy, They love to watch him go "Heave ho!" Just for a lark, he went and painted it green. It's the only green dinghy that the girls have ever seen, The cutest little dinghy in the navy. Heave ho! Heave ho! Now, other sailors take their girls canoein'. It's an old, old, navy technique, But Evey gets more girlies with his dinghy, And what is more, it never springs a leak. Every time it rains, his little dingy gets wet, But Evey says it's waterproof, so he doesn't fret. The cutest little dinghy in the navy. Heave ho! Heave ho! #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

STINGRAY! This morning at sunrise there was a giant stingray. It jumped into the air right next to us, she yelled "stingray!" and then we saw the funny tail poke into the air and submerge. There also was some kind of black porpoise which was very large and came out of the water next to us, spouting water about 10 feet away. #jjames #love #bahamas

ALAS! Can one tell which direction a passion might head in? One cannot, I tell you. No person makes sense. HEY! This marks the final installment of the "Intermission" portion of my 2017 Inktober. However, you will see it again, and soon. Can you tell me why? If you can identify the greater purpose of the Intermissions, I will send you a free print based on it. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

AGILE! You thought you knew her but you didn't know her, but if you approach her you can meet her and get to know her. To new friends! #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

HALO! Here he comes, this man will sweep you off your feet and take you soaring. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

CLASSY! One of the most dangerous dancing soldiers is the woman in the business-class suit. This is the proper attire for the modern warrior. Beware, she may talk you into a corner. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

TWANGY! Square-stepping and drawing right into your heart, our main attraction on the mike tonight. Charlie-Mike-Mike. Charlie-Mike-Mike. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

CONFRONTATION! The dance floor is getting too small for the both of us, buddy. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

MONOLITH! The day spent in Universal City on Day 31 of the 33-day self-promotion trip might have been the most constructive day, all around, of the entire journey. #jjames #love #nbc #comcast #rosecitycomiccon #rccc2017 #rccc #comcastnbcuniversal #nbcplaza #universalplaza

REBEL! That new girl, I kinda like her. You know the one, always hanging out in the motorpool. The guys all talk about her too, like she's some sort of fixation, but I think they're mostly intimidated by her. She'll dance right through your heart and break it on the way. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing @christosgage

TRAINER! Follow along with this man, he will teach you some real moves buddy. Check this fact: having always been fond of this bro but not knowing his backstory, I looked up his old history. He comes from the same isolated, backwoods, rural area way away from civilization as my whole extended family, for reals. Check this though: he comes from a smaller, even more Northern town (town, ha!) less than 10 miles South of the Canadian border. Never even heard of the place before and it's legit right there in my own personal childhood stomping ground. What's more, the 2000 (that's a year, ya dig?) census notes a population of 19 people in that town. Yes, that's individuals, not hundreds of people. What. The. Heck. (If you dance with this man beware, he's probably lonely). #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

ERRIKA! The two descend into the forest, narrowly averting capture and creating distance from their pursuers. Never again, they swear, will they allow their boundaries to be so trodden upon. Never again. #jjames #love #painting #bookcover #denverart #rosecitycomiccon #rccc2017 #boulderarts #boulderart #emotionaldamage

INITIATIVE! Mr. Lloyd might sweep (pun?) you off your feet if you'd let him. With that thick Brooklyn accent, and his "self-taught" skiing, martial arts, and dancing, he's hard to miss on the dance floor. For good or ill. #jjames #love #gijoe #hasbro #hasbrotoys #hasbrotoyshop #inktober2017 #inktober #idwpublishing @jakeparker @inktober @idwpublishing

MENAGERIE! On Day 30 of the 33-day promotional tour, I met with a gent up in the Hollywood Hills near Griffith Observatory. He didn't realize that he lived underneath the famous sign on the hill, and his Mastiff is bigger than me, and he shared his love of quality comics with me. #jjames #love #hollywooddreams #rosecitycomiccon #rccc2017 #birdeater #taillesswhipscorpion #littlenemo
