I’m running a competition! 

November is over, so then of course is my #30dayscomics project. It was an unusual foray into the world of fiction, and I particularly enjoyed using no words other than those provided by the lyrics of ‘November’ by Tom Waits.

If you have an idea of what the story is about, tell me what it is by messaging me on the Ask page. The most interesting or accurate interpretation wins a print from the strip.

Go look at the whole thing here, and tell me what you think!

This was a revisit to an old ‘Mumoir’ that wasn’t used for something, so posting now. Essentially it’s an old bit of work on an even older bit of work, which is fitting because it has some old people in it. But not many.
