Thanks Lan, and nice use of brackets and nested parenthesis, haha!

Cici never wore a helmet, I only saw him wearing baseball hats. The dude in the back is just generally talking shit to anyone who’ll listen while changing out of his clothes. There was a lot of trash talking and machismo as I remember.

Hmm…how long? I’d say the metaphorical flag came off my head in about 6-8 weeks. Those first two months were really a struggle because of weather — Winter in NYC. Actually things got a lot better as soon as I got on with a different company, but Breakaway is great that it always is willing to hire rookies.

The rookieness truly shines out… Helmet[did Cici ever wear one? Curious.], flag, puzzled eyes. Felt that way when I first started working for Ace Messenger Service(Los Angeles DTLA [aside from WorldWide-but they suck, might as well give up.] messenger Academy)). Is that dude in the background mocking? How long ‘fore you started kicking arse?

I love this picture. You look so amazed by him, and it shows how you felt about him. :)

This is a great piece — it seems to convey the situation perfectly.

Haha, that’s awesome. I was wondering if someone would ask about the flag. Yeah, that was my creative touch, just trying to make myself stick out like a sore thumb a bit more.

Similarly, Cici wasn’t that much taller than me, but this drawing is kind of how I was feeling at that moment.
