Now I know why this timeline feels wrong. According to Usborne Books' "World of the Future", published in 1979 and a childhood favourite reading source of mine, the 2020 Olympic Games were supposed to be held on the Moon.

I guess sloppy colour grading is not so noticeable in a temporal format like a movie. But making a comic strip (like Darths & Droids), the bad colour match sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm gonna have to adjust the colour on the bottom left panel.

In 2006 I met Jane Goodall. I had an unremarkable webcomic, in which I'd co-opted Jane as a character—a crass, egotistical, version who posed as an expert on “monkeys”. I showed her some printouts & she said, “I’ve seen these. They’re funny.”
She agreed to pose for photos for my comic. RIP Jane.

![A 4-panel photo comic:

1 Me: Dr Goodall, it's an honour to meet you. I do this thing called Irregular Webcomic!...
2 Jane Goodall: {the real Jane Goodall! Really!} Oh yes, I've seen this. I've been hoping for the chance to meet you one day.
2 Me: You have?!
3 Jane Goodall: Yes. Come here, there's something special I want to give you.
3 Me: Yes?

Did a sketching jaunt to Greenwich Hospital (in Sydney). This is Pallister House, built in 1892 as a country home, converted to a girl's school, then a girl's orphanage, before finally being taken over by the hospital.
Victorian Filigree architectural style.

Sketches from The Rocks, Sydney.
I was sitting on a bench drawing the church and a bus pulled up and parked right in front of me, blocking my view! Had to walk around it and stand on the street side near the traffic to finish the drawing!
