PANEL 1: THE CAPTAIN, CAPH (the young Grasskan), ORLA, CUDDOW, NANDO, and CAPTAIN TILL are seated at the table. Snow falls on the other side of a large glass window behind them, an elaborate chandelier of glass balls hangs above them. CAPH speaks to CAPTAIN TILL, looking nervous.
CAPH: Wait. So does this mean I’m not going to war-jail?

PANEL 2: A continuation of the table scene. CAPTAIN TILL responds.
TILL: Ha. You are not going to “war-jail”. But If you’ll have us, we’ll find you work and lodging and a new start.

PANEL 3: Silhouette of CAPTAIN TILL  as she continues.
TILL: You were a tailor’s apprentice, were you not? Well! There are enough Grasskancs arriving every day to keep you busy for years. Not a one of them steps off their shuttle with a suitable coat for Saseet.

PANEL 3: Close up on CAPH, in awe.
CAPH: So I can live here? With Grasskans?

PANEL 4: Close up on CAPTAIN TILL, with a soft smile.
TILL: If your captain releases you. SHE has ultimate authority over all under her charge.

PANEL 5; Close up on THE CAPTAIN, also with a soft smile.
CAPTAIN: Caph, with love and all good wishes, you are hereby dismissed from the I.S.P.S. Machito. Fair winds and following seas! You are always welcome back: whether IN NEED, or IN NEED OF FRIENDSHIP.

PANEL 6: We see the table setting, with NANDO leaning his elbow on the table, and SKITTER sitting in front of the table. CAPTAIN TILL raises her glass in a toast.
TILL: Then it’s settled! Today Saseet is made better by the presence of an honest and earnest new citizen. A toast! To Caph!

PANEL 7: CUDDOW holds up his glass, excited. NANDO interrupts quickly, with eyes wide, standing up and grabbing his plate.
CUDDOW: This reminds me of a fillipod saga-poem about a prodigal son who—
NANDO: LET’S CLEAR THE PALTES, SHALL WE?!

Quick bit of fun news!

hey neat!

…DRIVE just got nominated for “Best Long Form Story” in the National Cartoonist Society Awards!

And to make things even more fun: It’s up against two cartoonists who I’d be proud to lose to! So that’ll make for a fun night in Jersey City!

I think I’ll make a trip of it with my pal Brad Guigar….so! That means I’ll probably do my first east-coast signing in 15 years! Would any NYC/Jersey/Connecticut/Pennsylvania folks come out, if I did that?* More info to come as we get closer to the Sept 7th Awards night!

*You can let me know over on the Patreon chats, or email me at [email protected]
