October Ramsay newsletter comic

10/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Here's this month's comic strip for the Ramsay community newsletter - all about buses!

I just finished a week of graphic recording with an amazing team of people working with Calgary communities to create a vision for the city's new Green Line - so, I've spent a whole week thinking about transit. So maybe that's why I had buses on my mind when writing this comic strip!

And one more note. In case you haven't developed a finely-tuned ear that can tell different bus engines apart as they approach, you might like to take a look at this instead: a brand-new website called Transit55.ca that tracks local buses as they head along their routes. If you're like my son and you actually care which bus is coming (i.e. you really want to catch a ride on that "curved exhaust pipe" bus rather than just any old bus) - then this is the site for you! Enjoy!

    I am a graphic recorder based in Calgary. I like local stories. I write comics when I have free time. And I leave eraser shavings everywhere I go.

    my website

    www.the23rdstory.com started as a blog and now includes some information about my graphic recording practice as well.

    I also have an (old) website which features a lot of my (old) work. Look out, it's a bit clunky and there are a lot of links that don't go anywhere, but there are still a few interesting things there:

    Some nice things people said about my work:

    “If Breitkreuz and Foong [founders of the Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo] represent the Type-A side of Calgary's self-publishing community, Hester may be the community's right brain.” – Tom Babin, FFWD Magazine

    “…A strong graphic style similar to other autobiographically-inclined Canadian cartoonists like Chester Brown and Julie Doucet.” – Gilbert Bouchard, Edmonton Journal
