Classic Oxford Activities: Rowing Part the Second
We return now to the action on the river banks...with John Hammersmith and Sir Richard Boddington the III calling the play-by-play at the Oxford rowing regatta. This most traditional competition dates back until....well...as long as anybody can remember...and always attracts a wide range of participants. All of whom seek the fame, glory, and prestige that comes with success on the water.
Enjoy!

lost in translation
This actually happened. There are so many moments where I want to sit down with the person and ask them what they were thinking, but I don't have the vietnamese for it. Like when I'm wearing sunglasses and a guy with 200 more pairs persistently tries to sell me some, or when I'm comfortably eating at a streetside restaurant (sitting) and a pushy motorbike driver tries to convince me to get on his bike. Really? Where are we going, will they let me eat my noodle soup there? At least wait till I'm finished dinner to harass me. The examples are endless. Also I am aware that my drawing of my foot looks like I have clubfoot, but you know it's not as inaccurate as you'd think if you've seen my feet.

Classic Oxford Activities: Rowing Part the First
In this new series of comics we explore the quaint traditions of the University of Oxford. Rowing is quite the thing there don't you know? This most gentlemanly sport shall be the subject of our first expose into life in the austere academic city of dreaming spires and sweater vests. In this installment we meet our commentators John Hammersmith and Sir Richard Boddington the III as they describe the sights and sounds of Oxford's favourite sporting activity. See you on the river bank!
