When a champ boxer tells you to scram, you get the hell outta there! When I was drawing this, I literally felt empathy for Beardo. I mean, this was such a devastating moment for him, It cost him his dream, and we know how poorly he copes with it. This turning point really hurt my soul a little bit.

On a separate note, I loved the parallelism in the final two panels.

This is one of my favourite pages I've ever coloured. It's modelled after an old Cuban barbershop, and really captured the mood I was looking for. In any case, here we have it, Beardo and Mr. Minestrone meet for the first time, and they get rushed into a bad decision. Destiny indeed. How will this affect Strikin' Bram Cotter's chances of landing a good gig with NASA?

Hey! There's Mr. Minestrone, back in '69! He sure looks like a groovy dude. So, Beardo needs a spiffy haircut to even the odds and get that job and fulfill his dream! The plot thickens. My favourite part of this page is the Cuban fellow who can't wait to tune in to watch John Lennon be an activist.

The coach's prophecy is bang on, though nobody will know it yet. Here's our first declaration that our protagonist is moving 'on to destiny!' Good luck to him! What a beautiful spot he lives in, in what I can only imagine is near Cape Canaveral where NASA launches rockets. It looks like things are going just fine for Beardo (wait, is his name Strikin' Bram Cotter?! NOW we KNOW!)

Here we reach the conclusion of Act I (a little shorter than usual) and it begins with a Flashback to Beardo's origin story. Where did he come from, how did he lose all hope, form how far up has he fallen? Let's find out!
