… and it’s Friday once again. Time for a new 30 MILES OF CRAZY! (#56)! Also time for another trip away from Colfax, out of the Mile High City, and On The Road to the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ (and place I used to live) – Philadelphia – for a new six part series.
This week: THE FUNERAL OF CGK, PART 1… or…. (I really don’t have a second title. I mean, it’s a funeral. Have some respect.)
Okay… first thing that needs to be said, please note that this new comic is two pages. Twice the 30 MILES!
Second thing… Yes, this new comic series is about the funeral of my father, someone I never had the most brilliant of relationships. Sure, during all these events was a time that was ‘Very Serious In Nature’ (trademarked!) and is a story that I’ve been wanting and waiting to tell until ‘The Right Time’ (also trademarked!) Next week is the two year anniversary of his passing and funeral, so I guess that time has finally come.
Also, let me say there is nothing ‘Tru-ish’ about this story. It’s ALL true. Yes, all of this actually happened. As you’ll find, my family has never been the most serious of people (well… most of them.)
So, here it is. THE FUNERAL OF CGK, Part 1.
… and with the Musical Accompaniment, I thought it would be a good idea to use some of the music that my father loved that I grew up with. So… three… two… on… Musical Accompaniment… and GO!
SHARE AND ENJOY!

As many people know, the idea of 30 MILES OF CRAZY! are the characters and stories that you meet on the streets and main thoroughfares of the city where all the interesting (and most likely sticky) things lurk. So, Denver has it’s Colfax Avenue, Boston has it’s Massachusetts Ave (Mass Ave!), San Francisco has Market Street (oh yes, I do have some San Francisco stores for a later ‘On The Road‘ series)…
… and Philadelphia has it’s Broad Street.
As in the past, I’ve done a background image for the upcoming 30 MILES – ‘On The Road: Philadelphia‘ six part series (which starts tomorrow)…. where funny enough, none of the stores take place on Broad Street (Part 4 is a block or so off Broad on Pine Street, but none actually on the street), so it’s not an exact analogy, but hey… IT’S ART!

Once again, the comic is leaving the Mile High city for a new 6 part story that starts this Friday detailing a trip some time ago back to the ‘City of Brotherly Love.’ It’s 30 MILES OF CRAZY!: On The Road: Philadelphia … and, yes, it also involves a funeral.
Also… yes, Water Ice is a thing (though the Mummers and the whole ‘Jawn’ thing, I still really cannot explain. There are many reasons I left this city so long ago.)
Musical Accompaniment… and…
SHARE AND ENJOY!

My illustration from ‘The Thin Man Party‘ that we had last weekend (since a scandalous amount of our friends have never seen the film). Yes, there were cocktails.

BOOM! Friday once again. Time for another ‘Tru-ish’ tale of Colfax and the Mile High City. A new 30 MILES OF CRAZY! (#55)! This week: A Walk Down West Colfax… or… YOU REALLY CAN’T WALK IT. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE.
Starting next week… Once again leaving Denver for a new 6-part 30 MILES series – On the Road: Philadelphia. Trust me… it’s going to be a little intense.
Three… two… one…. Musical Accompaniment… and go!
SHARE AND ENJOY!
