Let me start off by saying – I hate… HATE… drawing people I know.  It took me forever to figure out how I was going to draw Sue.  Longer to figure out my family.  If you can figure out who this is- great… my work here is done.  If you can’t I’m sorry, I still have a lot to learn.  I know that.  If you think you have become a reoccurring character in this strip… It isn’t all about you.  It’s all about Cecil.  Except this flashback is “P.C.” Pre Cecil.

The original text did say “Hi, I’m ____” but I wasn’t sure I’d drawn this person as well as I could.  Did this nameless person help me out and teach me a few things?  Yup!  Am I still friends with him… Yup!  Did I get help from some other folks who took pity on me?  Yup!  As I said on Monday- everyone was busy doing final checks on their own MINIs.  This unknown guy had flown in from SoCal to help an off camera friend named “Todd.”  So here’s the deal-  check out Whiteroof Radio and click on the link about track days.  Make sure that you have made sure that the fluids are all at the correct level and create a kit for your boot (trunk) that has some basics- tire gauge, torque wrench, basic tools that might not be included in your basic “here’s what you need to change a tire” kit.  Remember that your car needs to be cleared out of anything that rolls around before you get on the track.

As for the thought bubbles… I doubt DB actually thought any of that, but I sure did.  I’ll keep repeating this was a learning experience and opportunity fro growth.

My Hero

  1. Was that from the Phil Wicks thing in St. Louis? Wasn’t that a million years ago?

    Cool strip!

    And I never once thought you were a N00b. Can’t say what Todd thought however 😉

  2. Yup! 2006! In this arc we’re going back to my first track experience… Can’t say I’ve grown that much since then, except maybe around the middle.

  3. Hey! I know him! I just found this site through one of DB’s posts and am archive binging. Nice work mate!
