More (belated) March wackiness:
Of course, to cover the full gamut of New England Spring this year, I'd also have had to portray torrential downpour/record-breaking flooding, followed by faux-summer and very confused plants ... but what the hell, I was out of more interesting scripts and I just wanted to draw hair blowing around.
Note to self, for next time: if I'm too busy to script more comics, I am probably also too busy to hatch like that (in a timely fashion, anyway).
Also, last week I made my dad a birthday card based on one of my family's very random favorite films, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. (This is the third time I've made him something based on that movie - see this father's day card from four or five years ago. We really love that movie.) A couple of iffy photos under the cut (I didn't have time to scan):

I've certainly grown increasingly fond of hatching over the years, although recently I've started worrying that my work's getting too busy to follow. These Turtle strips are a learning experience for me; I'm trying to play around a bit and find the right balance.
