I’ll be taking a brief hiatus from regular comics as the semester starts to wrap up (too many projects and not enough time). For the time being, here is a cartoon I drew at the Wake Up & Dream brainstorming huddle last Friday. I’ll be completing some additional cartoons from that meeting, but here is the first. Wake Up & Dream is an initiative on my campus to promote sustainability particularly through the creation of an ecovillage dormitory. So what is an ecovillage? Ripping it straight from the Wake Up & Dream website, “Ecovillages are communities of people, who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological building, green production, alternative energy, community building practices, and much more.” I picked one of the tables brainstorming about what an ecovillage would look like and turned them into cartoons.

Regular comics should return in about two weeks.
