Funerals are not the best time to play journalist.
Hm. Had to do this within the last couple of years in a culture that wasn’t mine. My editor was pissed I didn’t take the shot during the ceremonies. I just don’t have the reporter bone; I hate butting in.
It’s always fun to use our friends and colleagues as characters. The fashionable stallion in the first panel is based on Steve Gallacci, my second publisher at his company, Thoughts and Images.

Hint for the kids: when I was in the army being chewed out by a Lieutenant, I always remembered she’d gotten her butt chewed first — or at some time — by the Captain. And so on up the line.
