The Everyday #156
I was incredible excited and exasperated all at once.
The tall gentleman who spotted the theme park first would be Mr. Matt Sheret, a fine writer whom I got to know better that weekend, and whose site I shall link you to right now.
Polaroids are used in this comic not for any pretentious reasons but because Liz Greenfield was wielding a chunky instant camera throughout the weekend and if you have a dig through Matt’s site you’ll find he’s quite fond of them too. Here’s two of my favourites from Liz of us all eating strawberries in the Kungstragarden (King’s Garden) including one I used for reference in the comic:

1 of the best (the) everyday EVER. Love the polaroid touch. Looking fwd to seeing what you crazy kids get up to in pt 2. Will it be the Godfather pt 2 of the everyday? I don’t know, I prefer the original anyway.

I really love the layout in this one, and the wind-whipped hair.

THEME PARK!!!
Also whether pretentious or not, polaroids do make photos of anything look good. It’s the… well, I was going to say “the Sepia of photography”, but that’s not really very imaginative. Oh screw it.
