Just realizing that I didn't post my November Ramsay newsletter comic strip, so here it is at the end of the month.
For once, this wasn't a comic strip, but a sketch which I did with my son, as part of a school project with his Grade 3/4 class at Ramsay School. It made me think about how I used to sit and sketch all the time, and the fact that I never do that kind of thing anymore. I should! And maybe you'd like to give it a try, too - it sure teaches you to see things in your own neighbourhood that you might never notice, otherwise.

The late great Stephen Cartwright, by the way - a children's book illustrator I loved as a kid. Those dog-eared books are now being read by my kids. (I couldn't find a reliable link that actually showed his artwork, so I just linked to his Wikipedia article, which doesn't feature any of his illustrations. Dig just a little deeper online and you will find lots!)
And as for our mystery location in the neighbourhood - I couldn't quite get the red marker on our spot, since we weren't located at a street address. Instead, we were in the park just to the west of Bellevue Avenue. Scroll in and find #1102 Bellevue Avenue - that's the house in my sketch.
