The Circus is Back in Town
 
Thanks to A-Roid, once again Yankee camp is a media circus, so I wanted to pay homage to that fact in this cartoon.  Originally I wanted to have two middle-aged guys walking down the sidewalk by a sign in perspective with their backs to the camera, but found that since it’s in Florida, two seniors on a bench work much better.
 
The seniors were an absolute joy to draw, especially the legs of the guy on the right.  I think I’ve channelled Walter Matthau with the guy on the left though.  For those of my fans who have been with me a long time, he happens to be married to the librarian I drew for a “Geoff the Ref” a long time ago.  I guess that I’m now at the point where my world is taking on a life of its own!
