I have been working on OLD TIMES for quite a while., and through its various stages in development, the series never quite met the approval of the publishers. Now I present to you what the publishers have been hiding all along about retirement.
I haven’t been able to make it to any of my High School reunions, but I’ll make this one.
Happy – that’s the way I look at it. Few were hits and many were misses. It’s where the ideas made it to the drawing board, got poked and prodded, but went no where after completion. Instead of throwing them in the trash, well, here they are: Now you suffer!
The drawings for Bohica Ben were actually for a children’s book I was working on about an adventurous boy gone mad on a bike. In the end, I felt the drawings -and there’s quite a few of them- became too busy for anyone to read in one sitting. That said, I am dedicating this military ‘jargon’ version to my late, uncle Glen ‘Happy’ Holland and his navigator ‘Wilkie’ who deserve plenty of recognition for dying so young in a war meant only for the brave. I will, however, be working on a civilian version for all to understand in the near future.
