Finally! We’ve reached the Contessa’s shack! How will it compare to what the kids back at the Gang Mills nest had to say?
Fun fact: When I was trying to figure out how the Contessa’s shack would really look (as opposed to the children’s description of it) I decided to base it on Thoreau’s house at Walden. Something you might never figure out on your own just by looking at it, since it just looks like a regular tiny little house, but still. Fun fact nonetheless:
I thought it was quite fitting given the similarities between Thoreau’s reasons for wanting to move to the little house and the reasons why the nests in the woods operate the way they do. As Thoreau is famously quoted, from Walden:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Anyway, there’s a little behind-the-scenes jazz for ya.
So as I mentioned last week, I am coming up close on Heroes Con, which takes place in Charlotte, NC from June 4-6! I’ll be there with all my books and stuff, and I’ll have a special Freewheel print available there (if it arrives on time), but best of all, I’ll have a series of $10 sketches of various superheroes and villains farting! Last week I showed you my MODOK sketch, this week I’ll share some of my other favorites, such as Aquaman:
