Here’s a couple of sketches of Shawn the beleaguered waiter based very loosely on our friend Shawn from Support Your Local Gunfighter. I started to doodle in my sketchbook, and this fellow took form. He could have been a yak or a sloth, but a hippo came out.
You can see Shawn the Waiter in his full color glory in the latest installment of Monkey & Bird.













Actually, I’m not really coordinated enough to be an effective waiter.
Apparently the test is that you have to be able to carry three plates, and you have to be nice. I’d be a miserable failure as well!
Nice? Yeah, I’d get an “F.”
