I really enjoyed reading this and the way it flows couldn't be any better. The red to yellow is a sensual bit for me. Also the seat on the bus, that whole scene is really well laid out and easy to follow. Although the granddad brung back bad memories of an animation with a really good presentation.
Luke I'm trying to compile all those that entered but didn't win into a single self published volume, so I'm calling out to everyone that entered. So far there are 9 people on board with some absolutely great entries. if you want to join in either drop me a line, or maybe post a comment here:
Luke, I cannot express how much I love this beautiful strip. It was referenced on Reddit sometime ago, and I have not been able to forget it. It's so poignant. I truly hope that you create a book of similar work in the near future. Just wonderful!
Very nice and intriguing piece of work! One of my Sociology students just introduced me to "Some People," and I'd like your permission to link this page back to my course's homepage, and to open up the comic to discussion. Please get back to me and let me know your thoughts . . .
hey boy you are awesome! do you know, your style reminds me big time of a group of argentinian cartoonists… i don't konw if you know anything about argentina's illustration patrimony, but there are some great illustrators and comic-makers and your style has definitely something to do with the, you should check out.
Hello, I found this piece of yours via Stumbler and I'm in love with it. I have a blog myself (just starting it) and today I'll write about it and put a link to your site. Congratulations, you're an amazing artist!
This is honestly amazing mate, well done! I've liked everything I've seen of your work on this blog, and it has all engaged and impressed me. When you have any comics for sale I would be 100% up for buying them.
Travelers are always having a hard time in terms of finding a place where they could spend the day or night, so here's the perfect place for travelers to stay that wont cost them much and will give them the comfort that they want.

Really awesome!I'm also from Argentina, and I'm really impressed by this moving display of wonderful narration. Congratulations on achieving such powerfu emotion-inducing experience!
I came across this from Reddit. This is such good work. I read this as I was listening to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHK9C5cy74c). One of the best 10 minutes I’ve spent on the internet.

a picture says “Pakis son, don’t mix with ‘em”, which means this part??? Who or what is “Pakis”??
I am translating the story in Spanish, but I can not understand that part!
Wow, this made me a bit sad and feel like longing for something that I even can’t recall.
I presume that blonde boy’s father hated pakis, because of the situation in his childhood, when he and a nice “pakis-like” girl had a great time and suddenly were separated. I also suppose that turning into an alcoholic of the brown-hair guy in red shirt might be connected to the situation when he was bothered by the other guy (which turned out to be a good grandpa). But I have no idea why the blond boy actually instead of hating, actually loved another paki-guy. I dunno why the little blond girl turned out to be bad mother. Maybe this cartoon is great because it leaves so many questions unanswered, or maybe because it shows how fast the life passes and people change. Anyway really great work, I haven’t felt like that since many years. Thanks and keep up the great work. Greets from Poland.
I find the story quite impressive. I stumbled upon it on the front page of 9gag today: http://9gag.com/gag/3927194
Would be awesome if you could explain your intentions a bit. I don’t think I quite get the message you wanted to transport.
Is this about the changes of people whose lifes change unexpectedly? Or about the reasons why everyone behaves how he does?
Maybe this could also be about the misconceptions you have about people you don’t know.

it sold out…….when does it available again, please ?
Shouldn’t be too long. Been a hold-up in the reprinting but should be done soon.

Paki is a racial slur. Technically it means ‘Pakistani’, but really it’s an offensive and derogatory term for anyone who appears to be South Asian.
I’m wondering how come I didn’t know about your artworks sooner! I really love them mate. Really love them, especially this one.
Great! Loved the storytelling!
i like it very much,thank you , to give us a great mango to us to see. i am very happy to see this , and i am touching …thank u luke pearson

That’s awesome, Luke. A small step to change somebody’s life who has an open mind. Thank you, I’m gonna spread this as many as I can.
