(Not) Leaving Las Vegas
🕑 Added 2024-08-31 17:00:06 +0000 UTCI was in San Diego for the annual conference of the National Cartoonists Society and Reuben Awards ceremony. (I talked about it in this post.) My flight home to Philadelphia included a brief layover in Las Vegas.
It was all going so well. We landed in Vegas at about 9 p.m. — ahead of schedule! However, another plane was parked at our gate. The pilot announced they’d be holding the Philadelphia flight. However, despite my best O.J. Simpson impersonation, I missed my connection by about two minutes.
(No.. not THAT impersonation… THIS one…)

Hertz Commercial, 1978
I was told that the airline could book me on the next available flight to the City of Brotherly Love — which was 9 o’clock the following night. So, I found myself in Las Vegas with 24 hours to kill. I booked myself into the Treasure Island hotel for the night and passed out.
I’m not much of a gambler. As a matter of fact, I sat down at one of the machines, ready to gamble away a couple of hours, and I realized I had no idea what the buttons did. I’m literally too dumb to lose money in Vegas. So I walked around for a few hours.
OK… several hours.

Arrrrggghh, maties! It’s Senior Frog’s!
Finally, after the desert heat started to wear me down, I stopped at El Segundo Sol for a quick lunch and a margarita and decided to head to the airport. After all, I could use the time to finish some work in an air-conditioned environment. Finally, nine o’clock rolled around, and I got on the plane and made the long flight home to Philly.

Sketchy behavior
I got a little sketching done on the flight, and I have a few single-panel comics roughed out that I might polish up for final presentation. Here’s one of my favorites.

What’s funny about this to me is that I was just in Vegas this past weekend XD I was there to see Penn and Teller as a birthday/Christmas (can’t remember which XD) present I’d gotten awhile back from fam.
