Day 2 of @blupjeansweek! Promt was Interactions with the family. Sadly for Lup and Barry, their family are a bunch of ingrates who don’t appreciate the necessity of experimentation. Not even dear captain:
I drew this comic last year for the New Frontiers anthology. It’s very intensely personal– but I’m glad I got an excuse to make a piece about these struggles.
The grandmother I mentioned in this comic passed away in December last year. I started this year with her funeral, visiting her house in Brownsville, a city in the Rio Grande Valley: my home by the border. I hold on to a lot of pieces of her life now. I wear her wooden prayer bracelets, I slip my hands into her gloves.
