Humberto
and the Mac Daddy Burger Shack
Josh Thorne
“While
working one day I got a phone call from a local high school student
starting his freshman year. He was part of a program where, on Wednesdays,
they would send the students out into the community to apprentice
with a mentor. Josh Thorne wanted me to be his mentor.
Over
the next three years we would spend each Wednesday together, doing
art, playing music, and making comic books. Josh’s book featured
a hapless fast food worker named Humberto. As a gift for his completing
the book I did this cover.
As of
this date, I am still waiting for his second issue. I think he only
has one page left.”
