And who hasn&#8217;t had hippie friends who, in spite of all their talk of love and a peaceful world, turn out to be total assholes? I&#8217;m venting a bit, sure, and I have met plenty of hippies who really were wonderful people, and plenty who were shysters\/hooligans\/lollygaggers. Anyway, there&#8217;s a comic somewhere around here that I should be talking about&#8230; here it is! This is the (autobiographical?) tale of a young man who rehearses with his band in the basement of a house full of hippies. One day, one of the hippies asks to borrow Gavin&#8217;s car and, after much tense waiting, manages to get it in an accident while he was out. Insurance isn&#8217;t going to be used and they end up having to get $1200 in 48 hours, and the hippie bows out of helping after saying that he&#8217;d sell his bike if necessary. Great stuff all around, and a great synopsis at the end about how people you know seem to just scatter to the four winds as you get older. It&#8217;s $3.50 (according to his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citycomix.com\/\">website<\/a>) and worth a look.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/falafel12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"652\" height=\"779\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Falafel Fall-Out Who hasn&#8217;t had hippie friends in their time?
