While I try to stay true to the four panel/one page rule I established for these jam comic starters, sometimes I can’t help but go long … and to include both the airport and the concert in the setup, that’s what I felt was needed …

I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk a bit about Boney Orlando: while I introduced the concept of Watusi’s favorite singer back in Watusi #10 (March 2004) with this very starter strip, it wasn’t until Watusi #25 (March 2008) that the inimitable Tom Cherry put a face to the performer, a face that I’ve used in his appearances ever since that time. Thanks, Tom!

For those of you in the Memphis area, the third annual Memphis Libraries Comic Con is happening this Saturday from 10-3! It’s a FREE event, and I’ll be there with lotsa my comics, including the newest Watusi issues! Hope to see you there!
