What a scamp

Here's another illustration job for a foreign-language textbook. The balloons were typeset, I just worked around them. It's pretty ho-hum, but the one vaguely interesting thing about it is that I based the male character on Rob, the main character in my friend Bob Fingerman's comic Minimum Wage (or Beg the Question if you bought the collection). I really didn't enjoy doing this work because it kept me away from working on my own projects, often for months at a time, so I would do this sort of thing every once in a while to keep myself from nailing a spike into a beam and buying some rope.
