on the last bus out of town
May 21, 2008 4 Comments
Appropriately as I am red-bus and red-brick city bound, an old routemaster which has travelled wide and ended up in Davis. (Hence my illustration friday for this week, theme “wide”). I sketched & painted this (and it was a proper sketch, not a drawing, as i was sat waiting for my own bus) in just over 15 minutes before another bus and some people got in the way. I had better get used to that where I’m going. this is a little bit of London in California. I can relate to that.
If Mayor Boris Standard-endorsed Johnson really does get rid of bendy-buses (at a cost of millions which could go into, say, crossrail) perhaps they too will end up in Davis.
“Knock Knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Wide”
“Wide who?”
“Wide don’t you open the door and find out?”
(kids! don’t open the door to strangers! especially if they tell bad knock-knock jokes!)

That is so cool! I wish one would end up here too. I love routemasters.
Great drawing. The answer is ‘not wide who, but wide where’. See my site!
It’s been a while since I stopped by – but have been going over the past few entries (Well, more than a few entries) and smiling. I always love seeing your pictures – even if they’re accompanied by terrible jokes -laughs-
have a good day there

cheers!
