Description Afan: Coffee come here a second, taste this pear. That greasy goober over there is trying to say these are local bartlett pears, this is clearly a conice pear and there is no way it grew around here because ..

Coffee: Oh my Gosh! You're jealous because she is talking to another man! That is so cute!

Afan: What! No, look you can smell they used ethylene to ripen this in shipp...

Coffee: kick his ass! Go fight for your woman!

Afan: Plum isn't my woman you lunatic!

Coffee: but she will be when you give that goober a beat down!

Afan: how are you under the impression the world works like that? 

Coffee: Are you going to stab him? That is so romantic! 

Afan: Ha ha What? Just give me a second to process what you just said! Seriously what is wrong with you?

Coffee: Daww, this is just like a faerie tale!

Afan: I really have to know what faerie tales are you talking about?

Coffee: the Mabinogion!

Afan: I need to check out your library some time. Wait, do you think Plum likes that guy? She could do way better.

Coffee: you mean yourself don't you? See I know what's up, go shank him!

Afan: Stop no, that isn't what I meant Ya'Allah Coffee, why do I try talking to you about things?

Coffee: because I'm you best friend!

I was just going to make this a simple character picture but I was board and just sort of recklessly filled a background that was much more elaborate than I had planed.

I love characters who are both cultured and a little goofy.
She may be crazy, but "Afan" means to forgive.  

I can picture you in a market, examining the produce in such an intent/ scrutinizing way and having one of your friends bewilder you with romantic notions.


Evan, you're my favorite cartoonist/ botanist/ zoologist/ theologist/ psychologist/ folklorist/ story-teller weirdo. 


(Ok, that's a lot to say.  I'll just say you're my favorite "Weird East-Texan Polymath")

Thanks you so much man, I needed a bit of a pick me up, and this did the trick.

'Just sayin' what I feel.  I'm glad it managed to give you a pick-me-up.
Keep doing what you do.  It sounds as corny as Nebraska to say, but you inspire me, ya nut.

I'm going to have to credit you among my inspirations when I take-over the world and then give-it-back, Cincinnatus style.

Lol, Coffee's bonkers, I love it.
Also love that she uses the term "goober".

Nice scene, but as usual, the moments between characters is the strongest part. Even without the text in the description there are big expressions and small glances that give characters together in a scene so much more verisimilitude.

I can never quite explain how or why these characters, with their personalities and stories, are all so clear and alive in mind mind. I really want to find some kind of outlet to share their full stories with the world. 

For now, if this can cause a least one person to investigate the Mabinogion I will consider this a personal victory.

I didn't realize coffee was a Valley Girl. Of course, most squirrels I've ever known tend to be rather, um, Squirrelly ...

I love your background work. Takes me 20 minutes just to examine all the detail.

She may be rather mercurial but she is surprisingly well read.

I had a rater dull night shift so I just ran with the background here. I like all the sweets but should have lined up the perspective better in a few places.

Me too, the wild ones that grow like crazy around my home town are rock hard and kind of spicy but I use to love eating them in the summer. I think the best kind that I ever had are those Royal Riviera pears.
