Felt tip on a sketchpad, Burlington, Vermont, Sept. 1979.
This issue of Cryogenic Comix concludes bringing out this collection of late 1979-early 1980 drawings.
The photo of me in my living room was taken in Sept. 1979, the same month that I drew these images. The other photos, taken Oct. 1979, was where I lived, 349 Pearl St. The old house had been divided into at least three units. I lived on the first floor with four other people, all strangers to me when I landed in Burlington knowing not a soul. My room had a door to the back, as seen in the rear view.
As seen in one of these drawings I quickly learned the Vermont trick of politely giving wrong directions when a big car would pull up and someone with a NYC or Boston accent would rudely demand a geographic lesson. It happened so often that I would be utterly thrown when the driver was polite.
