There are times as a lifeguard when the swim traffic will hit a lull, and the pool will be empty. Virtually everything is quiet, and if you exclude the occasional rippling of waves and the dumb comments made by guards, one might think that the pool was actually closed. However, there is always that one superstitious guard that believes that if you disturb the peacefulness with a comment as audacious as, “Wow, there is no one in the water!” or “Finally, no one is swimming!” then someone is bound to show up. I don’t think any of these guards believe in that voodoo magic. The closest one might come to being convinced of that drivel is Thomas, but he’s too heavily invested in his reading to pay any mind to the careless comments of Jonathan or Kurt. While guarding a pool with no patrons isn’t really passive income, it is income that is earned in a non-active or passive way.
For my new year enlightenment, I am posting these two comics. The first is a recent draft of a cartoon for “Suits and Guarders,” and the second is an “Ivan the Terrible” cartoon I did a while back. They are not the same comic, but they both share the same location from a different angle. Partly due to working with architecture and partly the inspiration from other creative writers, I am considering creating a geographical map of where the cartoon character’s lives take place like that of C.S Lewis, when he wrote “The Chronicles of Narnia” or J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” It will better develop an image of where everything takes place and bring the characters to life, almost like how every stage show has a set design.
We are now halfway through the Christmas season. I hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful fellowship with family and friends!
