It's 3AM and My Pants Are Beeping



Here's a true story from my sketchbook: every month, on the same day, my pants beep. It always gets me in a panic and I can't sleep.

Drawn with a Micron Pigma 8 pen, with some Photoshop colors overlaid in a hurry.

This is a GREAT example of a "scathing cartoon about mean corporations". If it becomes adequately viral, Virgin Mobile will obviously take notice and change it evil ways. Yeah. Sure.

Still, if this is happening monthly, you could add to your calendar a reminder when to go to sleep 4 hours early and pre-plan Things to Do at 3AM. Because Globalization.

I once had a job here on The West Coast that required regular communication with The East Coast, so my working hours started at 6:30AM. I did miss most of the L.A. Rush Hour traffic both ways so there was that side benefit, but still...

Haha. This is awesome, Mike. I love the odd little detail of your phone beeping in the middle of the night that set this whole story up. Almost makes it worth being waken up, doesn't it?

This kind of cartooning is exquisite and it is the kind we need. Not many cartoonists can catch your attention like this. In the subtle, in the minimal detail...drawn with joy and with lack of worriness. An artist like this...has been around ! All my best wishes to the artist ( and to the cat ) wishing well. Wishing success and many million hours of inspiration so we can keep on "tasting" this interesting environment. Saludos desde Mexico. Geotge Modilrvsky.
