Comic 20060725


We are going to need a bigger map. This one isn't as finished as I would have liked, I really ran out of time in the midst of a big heat wave. Sweltering in sweat is not good for concentration. I've been reminded for the past week of a Blue Oyster cult song "Hot Rails to Hell"


Riding the underground
Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop dont you know?
The heats on alright
The hot summer day didnt quit for the night

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

Blackened out eyes
Scratched on the wall
Stoned out looks from the crowd
The king will not know
On the wall it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

I don't pretend to know what the deeper meaning of the song, if any, may be. I just know that it invokes hot. When I'm really broiling it is the first semi-random thing to pop into my head.

This and the following two comics drawn by me will be postdated for the last week in July fitting in before the naughty Jack Hammer comic. Then there will be one more week of something similar postdated for the first week of August. I don't know how much time it will take me to put them all together or if they will fit like I want.
