Beauty Contest in 1936

Update: I'm on vacation! Taking a break from the work and daily cartooning to recharge and regroup for the new year.

I'll continue to post sketches on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Instagram over the holidays.

Here's a sketchbook page for the road. Sometimes, I feel like humanity is just one great, big beauty pageant.

It's definitely time for a vacation. I wish you peace and solace and bouts of uncontrollable laughter. Thank you for reading.
