Houses with Faces

A comic essay

It started with a mediation on house plants and, somehow, yoga bros.

Some asks a house (an illustration), half-painted pink, “Hey, house, what’s good?” The gumpy house says, “Why don’t you ask Sherwin-Williams, here?” A man on the roof responds, “It’ll look great with the trim!”

And led to the paint jobs of the Victorian houses down our street.

Realtors!

Black and white line drawings of the rooftops I see from my window.

The view from our window (Victorians not pictured).

Illustration of two “bros” (Victorian houses) in front of the Amityville Horror House telling him, “Stop spying on our plan for Bonnaroo, narc!” and “Do you even Bonnaroo, bro?” The Amityville Horror House (whose makeup resembles the Goth subculture) responds, “Ugh. I’m just trying to get past you.”

Bonnaroo sounds like a place Chet’s dad would take them.
