Barfy at the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri, Rajasthan, India
Excerpt from Joel's Travel Log:
"I've been suffering from a canker sore for the last few days, one of those pesky ones on the back of the tongue that makes me cry even more than I normally do when I'm eating the spicy stuff down here. I didn't have any disinfectant or anything so it was time for some frontier medicine. I grabbed my bottle of scotch and some tissue to swab and went to work on it. Oh sweet baby Jesus that hurt. I cried, I drooled on myself, I swore, it was like a soap opera set in a dentist office.
To top all this off, we find out that our water isn't working. That's not good. Especially when you've gotta use the bathroom. Ben really had to go and got creative. He was ferrying water in bottles from the big container in the kitchen to fill the back of the toilet up. I was too busy mutilating my tongue to really notice the drought. That is, until this morning... when it was still off. If I were back home, I'd be outraged and go yell at someone, but I figure here it's just kinda the norm. There have regularly been rolling blackouts that have turned everything off. Well this morning posed some interesting problems, mainly bathing. I remember being asked if I was 'raised in a barn' when I was little. I didn't think that sounded appealing then, but now I was wondering if it would've prepared me better. If I had been raised by wolves, I probably would've known how to just use my tongue. But no, no wolves, no barns, just me and a water bottle trying to figure that one out. I guessed it worked out alright, I managed to look like I had merely been run over by a small truck, rather than a freight train. "

Ink-'splosion
This piece was a doodle during crunch time on 'Alice.' From the looks of it, I might have been slightly stressed. If I remember correctly, this is the beginning of my 'style' imploding. More on that in later posts.

Finally it's time to go off to Oregon to recharge the batteries! Adventure awaits! Stories (maybe police reports) to follow.
In the name of science, we go.

Barfy & Joel at the India Gate, New Delhi, India
Excerpt from Joel's Travel Log: "Even though we'd only been in there twice before, they knew us atthe nice and cheap restaurant near our complex as soon as we walked in. We have our own table under the AC and our regular waiter now who knows our baffling American routine. That's a nice touch. He does that head bobble thing real good, too. Actually, everyone down here does it. I saw an old woman do it in the airport as soon as I got off the plane and I shot juice out my nose. Scary thing was I hadn't drank juice since several countries back. So my acid bag is actually getting used to everything. Which is good, because the toilet issue here is kinda a gray area for me. A lot of the bathrooms you find don't have paper...just a hose with a spray nozzle on it. I've looked around in all my travel books and everything for a clue as to using this. Each one of them happily dances around the subject. Of course, they'll mention that it's different, then cryptically say something along the lines of 'before you leave here, you may actually prefer this method.' I've got a few guesses how you might use it and really, even the best that I've come up with seems uncomfortable and embarrassing no matter how good your aim is. All I've found definitively is that it is not there for spraying the feet of the person in the stall next to you. That only ends with you bleeding."
Here's a quick test on a shot from the new Barfy episode.
Yes, it will be both cutout style AND old-timey (double plus awesome!).
You might not know who these new characters are so we'll be posting pages from the top secret Barfy-verse manual to get you up to speed. Here's a quick introduction to the natives:

On a side note, we somehow managed to get a copyright on the term 'Island Natives.' Serious.
