"Sue & Lou"


Man did I ever have too much fun with this one. In fact, it was my personal favorite of the year. Not just the usual wordplay with homonyms, but some homophones and homographs thrown into the mix as well.
The drawing itself is a thing of elegant simplicity: figurative poetry in the simplest of compositions. Honestly, with this one, I have no idea whatsoever as to where it came from: despite years of mulling about the process, sometimes the how and the why are a complete mystery even to myself. I suppose just watching with wonder at what comes out the other end of the pen is one of the primary reasons we keep on drawing them.
