Panel 1: At the top it says "Beginning of year:" A man with messy dark brown hair and a green t-shirt is standing next to Shen, saying "This year, I'm gonna become rich!" Shen is saying "I'm gonna become goth!"

Panel 2: The man points at Shen and laughs manically, saying "HAHAHAHA!! What a dumb resolution!" Shen just looks back at him sadly.

Panel 3: At the top it says "End of year:" The man is now in a payphone booth, with raindrops outside hitting the glass in the night sky. He has 5-o-clock shadow. He's on the phone asking someone "Hey dude ... Can I borrow some money?"

Panel 4: It's revealed to be Shen he's talking to, who is smiling smugly on his phone, in full goth getup. To describe the getup: His hair is dyed a super dark brown, and has "X" and ankh shaped hair clips. His hair also has bright purple highlights. He has dark purple eyeshadow and eyeliner former the bottoms of "X"s below his eyes. He's wearing a choker, 2 necklaces, and tank top with mesh sleeves. He also has a mesh bracelet, purple-painted nails, and his phone has a charm of the Sanrio character Kuromi.

A street scene from the '90s (see Alt txt for more info). This detailed watercolour drawing of mine from >30 yrs ago of King's Parade, #Cambridge was completed on the spot in about 3 hours. I was sitting on a metal box that controlled the rising bollards. Sold ages ago. #watercolour #enpleinair

King's Parade, Cambridge, watercolour and Indian ink. This lovely jumble of buildings including half-timbered frontages is deservedly famous and long may it survive! The shop on the left is Hardy and Amies, Club Outfitters. The railings on the right are in front of the Senate House. I don't know who has this painting now (it was probably sold in an exhibition). Now in my late '70s I'm afraid I no longer have the stamina to sit and do work like this on the street! I'm more likely to be painting in the garden or working in the studio.

I’ve learned not to assume that other guitarists already know what has taken me a lifetime of strumming to learn. My first and simplest piece of advice is to always tune your guitar before playing anything, as soon as you pick it up, tune up. It’s like a pre-flight check for an airplane. Tune first.
