That weird thing that happens, when you’re getting older, and your parent becomes somewhat more your equal/peer than an authority figure.
Ha! This was me wishing I could afford therapy, and recalling it from back before I’d left me good job in Massachusetts. While other cartoonists were writing their wish fulfillment fantasies of being muscle bound, hitting bad guys, and getting the girl… I was merely hoping to get my head to work right. :)
It was so strange writing Bruno’s life somewhat in realtime (the crash referred to actually happened the day before), usually writing and drawing it the day before, and so when things happened, I could put it in. Made it a real journal of a time and place of my life for me.
As you might notice in the notes, they are referring to the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 on November 12th, 2001.
