“Wow, I think all the chairs a leather now or it’s too dark to see if they’re fugly. It’s really dark. ”

Probably for the best. More tunnely.

You know, that would have been the way to do their website photos. Instead of “FLASH! Look at our tacky (in both ways it seems) carpet” they should have gone with a dark, artsy look that said “ooooh! Tunnel of LOVE”.

“Also, I am gay and I draw gay covers.”

I don’t understand. What covers? Chair covers? I see no chair covers of any sexual orientation. Or happy carefree ones either. In your drawing? I’m confused, help me Willis! Does not compute! Error errooor!

Ok, I know this is off topic, but I was unsure how to get this to Willis.

Dude. I just interviewed at a Toys R Us for seasonal hire. And guess what? The HR guy was named David and had glasses and messy brown hair. I know there’s no way it was you, but I thought it was a pretty neat coincidence. And I got the job! Maybe it was a sign? Thanks again for the awesome comic!

I overlooked the sawdust on the floor places. And the open to the beach places. And the ones that were so dark I don’t have a clue what (who?) was on the floor.

My experience, probably less than yours, is that “serious” bars (not part of a hotel or such) tended to go for hard floors. Usually with a bit of texture to avoid slips. I assume for cleaning purposes.

The ones with carpet either went dark with really tight patterns or kind of a “royal” look pattern, fleur de lis in gold and blue type of thing.

The problem I have with this one (and it might be the photo) is that repeating geometric in mustard and green kinda makes me want to puke, before I’ve had a drink. I admit it might not show stains, but it looks like it came from a Motel 6 conference center.

The cloth chairs, in green/blue with cigar boxes… AUUUUGH my EYES!

I will say it makes it unlikely that they’ll be stolen. And if a drunk does something nasty in one, once it dries, visually who cares?

The leather ones look ok.

Hey Mr. Willis! Nice pics, shows the drawings well.

What model of (OLYMPUS) camera ya using? The image says uT6000,ST6000 but I’m not sure that’s a model.

Thanks for the info.

That’s clearly the clip of a clipboard.

What’s that sliver above the paper? Did you draw this in the bar? Good thing you didn’t drop it on the floor…
