Naked Summer

on July 19, 2021

First published July 19, 2010.

KB: This was inspired by the World Naked Bike Ride, which is pretty huge in Portland.

I realize I have two comics that say they were published on July 19. I'm posting these based on the date in the file names, and I don't think all of them are right.

GB: I lived across the street from the Bagdad at the time, so that first panel takes place directly under my window… just like the actual naked bike ride did, summer after summer, a 90-minute procession shrieking their lungs out and angrily admonishing anyone who wants to just cross the goddamn street as a voyeuristic perv (the nakedness is actually the least obnoxious element of that thing). This was obviously a lot of fun to draw.
