You can tell I strive for exact historical accuracy. ALL THE TIME. I'm not a Sam Adams fangirl, so I apologize what I've done to him. I remember a worker at Minute Man National Park who kept reinforcing that Sam Adams was, as we know, one hell of a patriot but one bad businessman.
I just watched most of the John Adams miniseries again tonight while working on this and have a renewed annoyance for Ben Franklin. Kinda want to bring in the coon skin cap. Hehe. Maybe later. Couldn't watch the last disc of the series because it makes me cry like a baby. It's 5 am now, I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll revise this post later and it'll make sense.

History! Bromance! Independence!
Nicole
Yup. That’s pretty much how I picture Sam Adams.
Tina
Haha, me too.

Random question…. but does Sam Adams look drunk like that all the time??? XD (And I spy a certain ginger in the corner of panel three~~ <3 Is it who I think it is?)
Tina
Sam Adams only looks like that when he’s had a few. And I think you do spy a certain ginger in that panel! You’ll be seeing him soon. You can see a sketch of his face as the voting incentive this week, actually. ;)

Fantastic lighting and shadows in panel 2. Colors look great on the whole page. XD Fucking love the beer bottles!
Tina
Thanks!

So I’ve been foaming at the mouth following your comic since, like, February so I guess now’s as good as ever to say hello…Love it, keep it up, Thomas Jefferson looks like a babe :D
Tina
Awesome! Thanks for reading! :D
And thanks for the compliments on Jefferson. I’ve been worried about putting him in the comic since he has so many fans. I didn’t want to mess him up.

If you ever go on a tour in Philadelphia’s historic district, they will tell you that Benjamin Franklin invented everything, including the internet.
Tina
LOL! I want to go back there. Haven’t been in like 16 years or something. I’m totally prepared for the Ben Franklin love there.

Historical note!
Sam Adams (and his father) did in fact brew beer. And it was apparently terrible.
(I know you probably knew that Tina.)
Tina
I figured it was okay to put one of the beer bottles in the comic, even if it is the modern packaging. Guitars, Sam Adamns brand beer, 1775, it all works.

OH GOD IN THAT VOTE INCENTIVE SAM ADAMS IS EYEING PAUL LIKE A PEDOPHILE WTF ;^;
my poor soul….
that said, i think this week’s. drunk founding fathers = comedy. (now if only we can see a giggly, hiccuppy, drunk paul. xDDD)
Tina
LOL! So not the intention! My drawings are so weird.
And no beers for Paul!
Rachel
Heh, awesome beer bottle! XD Not a Sam Adams fan myself so can’t wait to see what you do with him.
Tina
Thanks! I had fun with it. He’ll still be a Patriot, but he’s also a band manager, so I had to add some things.
