TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
(There is a caption, which reads:) I’m flying away this weekend
Sam: (A person wearing a long sleeve, pale blue shirt and a black backpack, who is facing the viewer, but looking at Joe. Eyebrows are raised and eyes are full of tears. Mouth is open, with downturned edges, and hands are holding the backpack’s straps.) Bye, love.
Joe: (A person wearing a pale purple t-shirt and a red neckerchief, who is facing the viewer, but looking at Sam. Eyebrows are raised and eyes are full of tears. Mouth is closed, with downturned edges.)
(There is an aeroplane taking off behind Sam and Joe.)
Panel 2:
(There’s a caption, which reads:) By the time this post goes up I’ll be up in the big smoke of Auckland city… Starting a new chapter.
Sam: (A person who is facing the viewer but looking to the side, with raised eyebrows and a closed mouth.)
(Behind Sam is the silhouette of the Sky Tower, and some of Auckland’s other buildings.)
Panel 3:
(There is a caption, which reads:) Joe & I are gonna be doing the long distance thing.
Joe: (A person wearing a long sleeve, green shirt and a blue neckerchief, who is facing the viewer, but looking in Sam’s direction [across the break]. Eyebrows are raised, and mouth is closed.
(Behind Joe is the Otago University Clock tower, and the sun, partially obscured by a cloud.)
Sam: (A person wearing a yellow-brown polo, who is facing the viewer, but looking in Joe’s direction [across the break]. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is closed, with slightly downturned edges. There is a pencil behind Sam’s ear.
(Behind Sam are a number of tall buildings, and a bright sun.)
Panel 4:
Sam: (A person wearing a brown t-shirt and a black vest, who is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with very slightly upturned edges.) So there’ll probably be lots of soppy ‘I love you Joe & I miss you!’ comics popping up.
(Both Sam and Sam’s speech bubble are surrounded by little red love hearts.)
At least you’ll be away from the threatening-looking vampire tooth tower in Joe’s world. I fear for his safety. 🙂
Haha!! It’s supposed to be the otago uni clock tower, but I think I must have subconsciously made it scary looking in an attempt to say “Quick! Joe! Get out of there! That building is about to eat you alive! You MUST come to Auckland, NOW!” I should warn him.
Ha, cloudy Dunedin, sunny Auckland. Subtle.
Yes, that’s me… also Auckland is killing me with heat- argh.
I have conflicting feelings of sadness and happiness reading this. :’/
I have conflicting feelings of sadness and happiness doing this…
ah the great southern land with its already small number of inhabitants is missing you already, as are those of us who reside here. Don’t stay away too long.. but in saying this, I hope your comic genious gets to spend the year getting all the attention it deserves, and hopefully Auckland provides you with plenty of inspiration. Hope the heat doesn’t mean you neglect your vests..
I have grand plans to come back to visit, I just need to save up a bit. I’m really looking forward to course starting – mostly because it’ll be airconditioned. No vests have been worn for two days now. It’s quite sad. I may have to wait until winter…. 🙁
p.s. did you get our two packages to you?
