Ol’ George #18: Poet of the Pints



 Notes on #18:

1. I took the name Ferval of Ferval’s Finest Ale (whatever that may be)  from the character Ferval Lankman, played by Brian Posehn on Mr. Show. Maybe it’s someone else’s name, how would I know?

2. I found a spelling error and tried to correct it, terribly. Then I found another and couldn’t fix it. Please  forgive my spelling errors.

3. Why is Irma giving George that look in panel four? Because she knows that he’s a sarcastic smart aleck. He gives it away in panel three. I never expected to draw George that way. It’s a disturbing look. 

There is a hidden dynamic here, an extra meaning slightly alluded to above. Stay tuned for next week!

4. Ninkasi was the Sumerian beer goddess, circa 3000 B.C. Fun fact: The ancient Sumerians referred to beer as “kas” in her honor. They bartered with beer and that’s how we get our word “cash”. 

Who needs beer reviews when my comics give you beer facts like that!
