nowhere #46- the unwelcome guest
Even Josh has limits to who he wants to come to shows. Can you blame him? Getting grandmotherly huggles after a show is about the least-rocking thing in the world. During the heyday of AC/DC, the Young brothers kept their grandmother chained up in a basement just to prevent such an occurrence.
Other notes:
1. I learned the hard way that changing your wife’s ringtone to “Cotton Eye Joe” will provide much hilarity and leave you perilously close to sleeping on the couch. Being single, of course, Josh has no one but himself to blame for his ringtone.
2. Josh’s all-beige apartment is pretty typical for your cheaper Minneapolis rentals. I lived in a bunch in my 20s, and the weirdest thing is that they all had the exact same floor plan.
3. The hardest part of the coloring process for this strip- by a long shot- was Josh’s shirt, which is really fussy and has a lot of little nooks and crannies and isn’t even the shirt I meant to draw to begin with. This is why so many NB characters wear blank shirts. Ugh.

Awww, come on! I bet Grandma’d fit right in just fine…the Awesome Boys are a mellow bunch, it seems. Though she probably grew up in the 50s/60s on stuff… like Englbert Humperdink, Perry Como, Jim Neighbors and “Yakkity Sax.”
If I’m ever at a show where somebody plays “Yakety Sax,” that band will immediately ascend to Most Righteous Fucking Group Ever. Can you imagine how awesome that would be to hear somebody rock it out electrically?
It’d be great!
