Holding's very strong view that camping is better than staying in hotels in every way - financially of course, but also for health, freedom, and enjoyment - is about to be elaborated upon. Over the next several pages he explains the reasons in great detail, including how he stays dry and has a very pleasant time even in the rain.

Not quite as straightforward as one would hope for.
And, a pretty odd thing to do from our perspective! I do love their socio-political discussion, followed by admission of total ignorance! [For further detail and fascinating info about research etc behind these pages, do join my short monthly mailout - see homepage for sign-up.] Here and there throughout Holding's book he has included little illustrations, sometimes quite sketchy but this one has lovely detail. I can't find any info about the artist, unfortunately; the drawing seems to be signed Scott Calder I think...
I may have to re-letter both these pages. It's been quite cold in my studio and has affected my ability to write neatly! That beautiful gaol building no longer exists but I found some old photos and it seemed worth the effort of drawing it...
Needed another footnote here. I'm not sure if Holding has mis-typed 'praties' as 'prates' or if that's his own jokey shortened form of the word. But even if I'd changed his spelling to the former, that's not going to be immediately understood, is it? And look! They managed to get some buttermilk this time! |
What's this all about??I'm making a true-story graphic novel called Archives
