seth-and-chester.jpg
Last night while down the street at my my favourite local restaurant I noticed two familiar faces sitting at the next table.  Comic-creators Seth and Chester Brown (and two men I didn’t immediately recognize) were dining, chatting, and what looked like sharing new work with each other.

I kept trying to catch glimpses of the drawings being passed around, but at the risk of looking like an oggling fanboy, I turned my attention to my spinach lasagna and later drew this picture instead.

Great drawing!

Why didn’t you introduce yourself, silly? You could have mentioned that you had just recently had drinks with Jay, yada yada.....

Well how the heck did we ever become friends?

I must have thrown myself at you. I have a tendency to do that to cute men.

We first met at the NCS Christmas party… I vaguely knew your name from the Wisen, and you greeted me with “YOU’RE ROBOT JOHNNY!!!”

Johnny my boy...You really must get over that
“I’m not good at introducing myself” routine.
You’re a big boy & are perfectly capable of
introducing yourself.  Next time---get with the
program & say Hello, my name is John etc. etc. etc.  Love Mom............

But I do recall yelling “YOU’RE ROBOT JOHNNY!!!”

This is great fun!  I guess I should
voice my comments oftener. 
Hi Kathleen---missed seeing you at
Easter!  Just me...Mom…

Kathleen says:

Missed seeing you too! Stoopid school.

Oftener.. it’s a perfectly cromulent word.

If it makes you feel better, I’m sure it would’ve been twice as awkward for them as it would’ve been for you.
