The day after I finished this comic I went onto Mr. Wainwright’s site only to find that his NZ tour has been cancelled! Alas! But at least it gives me some more time to grow some Rufus-worthy facial hair.
TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
Sam: (A person wearing a blue, collared shirt, and a grey vest, who is facing the viewer, with eyes squeezed closed, and mouth open with very upturned edges. One arm is raised at the shoulder, the arm stretched out to the side. The other arm is raised at the shoulder, and bent up at the elbow, hand flat against Joe’s, in a high five.)
Joe: (A person wearing a purple shirt and an orange cardigan, who is facing the viewer, with eyes squeezed closed, and mouth open with very upturned edges. One arm is raised at the shoulder, the arm stretched out to the side. The other arm is raised at the shoulder, and bent up at the elbow, hand flat against Sam’s, in a high five.)
(Title hovers above their heads. Title reads:) RUFUS WAINWIGHT IS COMING TO CHRISTCHURCH!!!
Panel 2:
Sam: (Looking at the viewer, eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with very upturned edges. Both arms are raised horizontally at the shoulder, and bent back towards Sam’s chest. One hand is closed in a fist around two tickets, the other is closed in a fist with the thumb pointing straight up.) And we have tickets!!
Joe: (Facing Sam, eyes squeezed closed and eyebrows are raised. Mouth is open, with very upturned edges. Arms are bent back at the shoulders, and up and forward at the elbows. Hands are closed in fists, and there are two elbow shaped lines at each upper arm, indicating movement.) Yaaay!
Panel 3:
Sam: (Looking at Joe, with very wide eyes, and raised eyebrows. Mouth is open, in the shape of an ‘o’. There are two exclamation marks next to Sam’s head. Both arms are raised slightly at the shoulder. One is cut out of frame at the elbow. The other is bent straight up at the elbow, its hand open, fingers splayed, and palm facing the viewer. There are two elbow shaped lines at Sam’s forearm, indicating movement.) OMG! I totally *have* to start on T, like, today!
Joe: (Looking at Sam, with one eyebrow raised, and the other lowered. Mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. Shoulders are slightly lowered.) What? Why?
Panel 4:
Sam: (Looking at the viewer, eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with very slightly downturned edges. Arms are bent up at the elbows, with hands closed in fists.) I *need* Rufus to see me with facial hair.
this comic is so awesome. i love my face in the one where i’m going “yaay.” it makes me feel happy.
but then: WAAAAAAAAAAAH! rufus not coming. that is not happy. that is distinctly not happy. that is possibly one of the most not happy things that has ever happened in the history of the universe.
sigh. well i still have cool hair. at least in the comic i do.
and the cute red cardy too
I am soooo happy you put this into a comic!!! Sooo Happy…I think it made my day! Even though sad Rufus not coming 🙁
My mom got to MEET Rufus AND see his Judy Garland tribute show in Los Angeles. And then she texted me mockingly to tell me so. The world is not fair.
That is completely unfair. Bleeeurgh. Your mum sounds awesome.
