A Refreshing Light Rain in Hong Kong, a comic

Hey, folks!

I recently wrapped up a few weeks of traveling, and over the next few newsletters, I wanted to share a few of my favorite comics and pages from my sketchbook.

The trip was mostly in Southeast Asia; China, Vietnam, and Japan, but I ended the strange little tour at a literacy festival in...Nebraska.

It started with a two-week visit to Hong Kong. I was invited by an international school to spend a week with their students. We talked about books, drawing, sketchbook stuff, and even one presentation on PUNS. The kids and librarians who hosted me were incredible, and I really loved this part of the trip.

At the end of each school day, I would return to my hotel room, and in an attempt to avoid falling asleep and messing up the jet lag situation, I would pack a small backpack and explore the city. I saw a lot. I averaged 12 miles of walking (this was typically after a day of presentations!). I carried a sketchbook with me everywhere I went.

Here's a short comic about one night of walking around.
