This masterpiece is from my travel sketchpad. It's based on this Baby Boomer dad we encountered down in Mancora, Peru. He was this real self-satisfied "cool dad" who was staying in our hotel with his wife and kids. He was something else: he surfed, bragged a lot about his family and liked to play the know-it-all prankster with his overly-sullen kids. He also had this really loud, clammy-sounding voice that made me want to build a time machine and travel back to 1956 and choke him to death. Which, I guess, is what is sort of going on in this drawing.
