So when I stumbled over this video featuring Jen Usellis the other day I just had to share.

But then there are the big ones, the ones that I can’t fix. The best example of this is the first two years where I was still just trying to figure out what was going on and there is tons of information about the setting that doesn’t fit into current cannon not to mention a handful of cheap political jokes that I’m kind of embarrassed about now (not due to being ashamed of my own politics but due to them dating badly.) So because of this my general attitude about the first two years is not to talk about the first two years.

More recently another big one snuck up on me.

The last couple of months have been what I’ve started to call long day storylines. That is to say juggling three subplots that keep on going on while still only happening in 24 hours of strip time. I’m generally uncomfortable with these strips because they have a tendency to constrain the stories you can tell since they don’t allow you to move forward until the “day” ends.

Anyway I was just going through the archives to remind myself on some of the details so it would be easier to finish only to discover that the Spring Mystery, storyline something that took place before the current day and the aftermath of which is an important detail in the current storyline occurred while Kate and Rowan were having breakfast.

I suppose I could tell myself that I’m writing the story in “Anachronic Order” but if I am I’d like to think I was doing it on purpose and a little more competently.

Any way  please don’t judge too harshly.

After I saw my friend off I had about an hour before I had to be somewhere. I managed to finish another picture. Had a few good conversations. Over heard a street evangelist quote Romans at someone who had gotten into an argument with him. I’ve noticed that Romans seems to be pretty popular these days… I guess it gives them some comfort whenever they run into anyone with an IQ over room temperature.

All in all a very nice way to spend the afternoon.

And it had everything it always has Music, overpriced festival food, obnoxious evangelists, arts and crafts, the list goes on!

To a certain extent I think it’s gone down hill quite a bit. For the longest time my favorite part of the street fair was all of the artists with my favorite part being the opportunity to talk shop with the watercolorists. This year there were no water colorists and hardly any regular artists (two painters, one photographer, two caricaturists. All in all I think the whole things been going down hill quite a bit. Still the people watching is always fun and I got to get a few sketches in. The first two being rushed street scenes and the other being musicians from the band Fabulous Party Boys.

I really like this piece. Every time I look at I can’t believe that is was done in the seventeenth century. It keeps making me think of some of the more modernist styles particularly Mexican Muralism.
