Kevin:

That guy in the turban kinda looks like spaghetti on a fork.

So whatcha gonna be for halloween, John?

john cox:

HEY KEVIN

I thought I would go out as a mal-adjusted cartoonist with delusions of grandeur.

GarandFan:

Spaghetti AGAIN?

Terwiliger:

I'm intrigued by the figure in the upper left. Reminds me of the dignified old ladies & gentlemen who used to sit on the benches that used to be scattered along the sidewalks of this 'burg...

...but progress brought shopping centers, then malls, then mall rats, then street thugs--& all but a few of those kind old folks have passed on...

...& the few remnants of that generation now cower in their modest homes, peeping through curtains & iron security rails.

Kevin:

I see a cross between what T said and darkman. Old lady darkman. Something like that.

John, and will that cartoonist have a sockpuppet on his hand? 'cause that would be awesome and worthy of some candy.

john cox:

HEY T

The figure you pointed out was a MARTA rider I sketched while lurking in the back seats of the bus.

It's rare I get a chance to sketch on a bus and even rarer that the drawing comes out half way decent.

Terwiliger:

JOHN:

Cool.

Put her on a park bench against a backdrop of flowering dogwoods & oak trees, & she would be a fantastic addition to your "Southern Gothic" collection.

Sort of a Norman Rockwell meets Edward Hopper against an Andrew Wyeth backdrop... á la John Cox, of course.
