And they’re off. Waaaaay off. I think that the number of bikes that finish the race will be far less than the number that started, don’t you?

Bicycles. I know caricaturists that won’t draw them. These are the party caricaturists who do little cartoon bodies featuring the subject’s hobbies or jobs. Bicycles, they sometimes say, are too tricky to draw.
I’ve loved bicycles for a long time, and have drawn and painted a bunch of them. I’m really happy when a kid says, “Draw me on a bike.”
On the other hand… drawing a bike over and over again in a comic strip is tedious.
But I’m kinda happy to do it, even if the chainrings aren’t exactly round or toothed convincingly. You guys probably don’t mind, right?
I had been kicking this idea around for a while, and needed a good place to slot it in. Everyone’s going off to work, I figured this was a good time. So I’m tinkering with it to see how it’s going to fit, and dogged if one of the regulars over at The Buckets/GoComics didn’t fling the idea out there from the blue. Like, yesterday. Man.
In the interest of being fair, if you want to believe that I jumped on the idea after it was mentioned yesterday (two days ago, since I’m writing this the day before the cartoon posts) then I have no evidence to support my own claim. David_42 must take the credit!
