Resistance is Futile, Act 1, sc. iv


Uh oh, this looks like a dark moment for D. Ron. Thanks to everyone who shared their favourite moments in King St. history to help compile a "greatest hits" montage of Beardo's time as a beggar. It turned out great!

On to Destiny, Act II, sc. iv


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.

From Busk Till Pawn, Act I sc. iv


Interesting facts: the drunk version of this song has 100 verses.
Beardo is on a mission to raise $30 so he can get another bottle of liquor. Looks like he's got his work cut out for him. Meteorology and singing haven't worked out -- what would you like to see him try to earn a few bucks? Maybe he can take a shortcut to acquiring liquor instead of using cash?

Ancient King St. Proverb:
You can give a bum cash enough to drink for a day,
or teach him to earn cash to drink for his whole life.

Give Blood, Play Hockey, Act II, sc. v


The lesson here is, "Go with what you know." Beardo is certainly more comfortable begging for change than he is trying to fit in with higher society. And by higher society, I literally mean people who show up to OHL games. Even THOSE people are a higher station than bums, but just barely.

Act I Act II Act III
