Rajul used to be a shy quiet mouse. He never drank, never smoked, never chased girls or listened to loud music, he barely even spoke... His grades were high and his clothes were neat; you could just smell the woeful boredom off him. He was a poster child for repression. The only thing his parents could complain about was his sideburns, but even they knew it was a small price to pay for such a well behaved (lifeless) son.
Ever since he went to college, Rajul has changed. Something inside him broke the shackles and ripped its way free. Away from his parents, he learned a new way of life, a much more joyful, liberating way of living. The old Rajul is gone. The new Rajul is a crazy fucking party animal! It might all backfire one day, but for now, it's great to see him so happy.

ReplyDeleteI love that drawing. Sideburns are a premonition of the soul.
ReplyDeleteJudka - so you were a party animal in high school, as well ;)
ReplyDeleteJorg - true, the greatest party animal of them all had sideburns, too. (i'm referring to The King, of course)
I've seen this happen so often to kids who were restrained by their parents...
ReplyDeleteAt least they have their sideburns when it goes wrong ;)
1. Sideburns rule :-)
ReplyDelete2. It's good that he got to the point where he can have fun in his life. As long as he doesn't overdo it.
3. Your drawing is really great. I love the idea of the party animal coming out of him !
I met a lot of kids like this at uni. In fact, I was one of them, but I've calmed down ;) Brilliant illustration.
ReplyDeleteLaury - it is pretty common. i hate spoiled brats, but i also feel bad for those kids shackled down by their parents.
ReplyDeleteKat - thanks. i've met some who have actually overdone it. they usually end up leaving college without finishing and go back to their parents. ironic. yeah, sideburns are pretty cool.
Melissa - thanks. everything has its right time, i guess.
Party on! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to Rajul...and you can't ever get that Genie back in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteOctapolis - hells yeah!
ReplyDeleteJohn - true. after that, bottles are only for emptying and smashing.
I like how your posts have always a unique element to them and at the same time something easily recognizable.
ReplyDeleteRajul's post is a great example of this. A story that's easy to identify with and an illustration that is nicely original.
Jay - thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Katie - thanks. never thought sideburns would cause such a fuss.
I'm shaving my head again!
ReplyDeleteDAMN SIDEBURNS!
