Best Laid Plans, part one, originally uploaded by The Searcher.

"Hey Blimpa, can you help me out?" I asked. I told her I had an idea for a drawing for the weekend, and could use some help with it. I wanted to draw a girl on a first date with a retro vintage robot. Or possibly a superheroine and a supervillain. Or possibly either couple sitting awkwardly apart on a couch. Even though I didn't know which way I was going to go with it, she ran with it. She found a friend to help her, gathered props, spent hours doing a photoshoot for me. It is so rare that I am actually prepared for a sketch idea, and she did a great job, so I was psyched. I got to the pub (where I do my best work. ok, all my work), sat down, took a sip of my Newcastle.

And then this guy showed up.

end part one.
