Spooky’s new trousers make their début! The pattern on her old trousers came from (I think) the interior of an antique wardrobe from my parents’ shop. It had started to bother me how awkward it was to to arrange and tile the pattern to fit the trousers so I decided to go look for something a little more versatile and easy to tessellate. The new trousers are based on M. C. Escher’s Reptiles and are, apparently, bulletproof. I imagine that sort of thing comes in handy all the time at parties.

Week 35: Monday – Shopping for new work clothes with Spooky.
Spooky: Nile? What do you think of these?
Spooky: They’re all I could find in bulletproof, but I’m not sure about the pat-
Spooky: -tern.
Nile: What do you think?
Spooky: I think leaving you alone for five minutes was clearly a mistake.
Week 35: Friday – Spooky has really honed her debating skills lately.

Nile: I’ve never been to Rome.
Spooky: Me neither, I… wait. You know you’re not coming with me, right?
Nile: But-
Spooky: This is my job, Nile. This is my work. You can’t just tag along when you feel like it.
Nile: But-
Spooky: I’m not listening!
Nile: But this is my journal comic. If I’m not there to write about it, how can you be sure the trip will have happened at all?
Spooky: LA-LA-LA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
