The Statue of Liberty's more attractive Cousin
Another 'one-off' Epic Extravaganza today, readers, as we witness the first--and probably last----appearence of the Statue of Liberty's ' babesome' relative, seen here in a quite literal 'walk-on' role.
Why do three of the main characters [B.B., Jet and Vibes] live in a Noo Yoik skyscaper, I hear you ask? Well, not only is it very handy for having the characters witness outlandish events from atop their vantage-point visually, it's also semi-autobiographical: for the most part of my youth [up until teens] I resided in top-floor flats, and many youthful memories are of viewing everyday life from a bird's eye view: this appears to have worked it's way into the strip,without me really realizing it until much later.....
This picture is also a 'first' on this site, in asmuch as we see a few of the main character's incidental neighbors: again, these are merely walk-on appearences, who may never likely surface again.
Cityscapes can be a bit tedious to draw [many artists often complain if they are assigned endless street/city scenes, which usually take absolute ages] but there is no denying that the results can be well worthwhile.
