scent of a counselor

It was down to the wire to get this comic done on time. I spent all weekend in a little town, somewhere in the middle of Oklahoma for a friend’s wedding.


I say all weekend because I think it’s understood that when you go to a friend’s wedding on Saturday night, you spend Sunday nursing a hangover.


..and that I did.


I wanted to name today’s comic something a little more subtle, but since the last one was named after the movie it referenced, it only seemed right to do the same with this one.


Either way, it wasn’t until I was half way done drawing Kevin as Pacino this time around that I realized how wildly inappropriate it would be for a substance abuse counselor to show up to work, still drunk from the night before.


Though, I’m sure Kevin is good enough at thinking on his feet to play it off as some sort of an example for the client.


“Don’t I seem like an ass, sitting here wasted? That’s how the world sees you.”


..or something like that.


He’s a creative little scamp.


Again, Thursday marks the 300th comic since I started this little hobby of mine, and as I lead up to that point, I just want to take the opportunity to thank those of you who read the comic. Especially those of you who have read it from the very beginning. All the kind words and emails that I’ve gotten along the way have really been rewarding.


So yeah, thanks.


See you Thursday. It should be pretty special.
