Winslow is a lot of fun at parties, but he doesn’t go to many these days. You should probably invite him to your next event. I promise he’ll eat all of your food and scare away all of your guests by the end of the night.
This strip is based largely on my wife’s lament that she never goes to parties anymore, which is one of the casualties of parenthood.
Artist note: I don’t normally jump from one story arc into another, but this strip is the first in another four-part series. This wasn’t intentional. While going over my notes to figure out what to draw next, I realized that I had written three scripts that involved parties… in addition to a comic that I had already drawn but hadn’t published yet. If I was going to have a three strips about parties, I wanted them to involve the same party–the invitation, the preparation, and the party itself.
