Picture Book Marathon: Day Five



I got stuck in my car, just before Christmas, when the snow turned a three hour round-trip into twelve hours. It made me appreciate just how not-boring normal traffic jams are. The new rule: if the car moves at all, every five minutes, it's a good thing. 


So. This is the story of a family, trapped in their car, on a seemingly boring strip of road. They will, as the story progresses, discover that there are lots of interesting things to do and see while stuck in a jam. 


That is, besides counting the bottles of urine that lie by the road.


The fact that the despondent Dad looks a lot like my Dad is entirely coincidental. Kind of.

I'm a self-taught graphic designer, trying to work out how to make this thing called work, work. I've also got a degree in Art History and Film Studies, an interest, bordering on obsession with animation, strong views on typography, an enormous recipe file and a well used bible.
