once upon a time i wrote up this story in great detail, but it's lost to the fickleness of the internet by now.
Jeph Jacques is giving a talk at the Halifax library tomorrow. Did I ever tell you guys the story of the time I drove to Halifax and back in a week?
I call it the Moose Story. To tell the whole thing would take about 20 panels, so here's some highlights. Picture it, 1995.
It turns out Halifax is much further away than I thought. I had a paid week off from the produce warehouse,and a trip to visit my friend zorry fell thru, so I rented a car. I set up dates with a trans
girl in ottawa and a cute young guy in halifax and started driving. 4000 miles? 17 hitchhikers. one hash-laced cigarette in maine.
5 regional accents. one moose. two of those indian dumplings - samosas - from a street cart in halifax.
the ottowa date went great, the halifax one was a disappointment. then i visited my sister in new hamster and found out i might have ADHD.
