It's not often I shy away from a quick punch line or a funny joke. But spending a week in Gatlinburg and seeing the beauty and awe inspiring view of the Smoky Mountains was just too much! I sat at my drawing desk with my pencils, pens and a blank rectangle. And as much as I wanted to crack some joke about our resort being on the top of a mountain and the end of a series of curvy, one lane roads...or that it seemed like everyone in Gatlinburg lived on greasy foods...or how Gatlinburg itself is like this 'touristy' little carnival town in the middle of the awe inspiring beauty of the Smokies...I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get those images of the mountains out of my head.
SO...no joke this week...I'd been touched by inspiration of another kind. I look forward to returning to G-burg someday...preferably in the fall when I can see the leaves changing color.
Enjoy your week. I've got a great idea for a color comic this week, so hopefully by Friday I'll have it ready to go on the 'ol blog!
-dug!
