Busker: How The Street Musician Honored His Dear Ol’ Ma On Mother’s Day
As mentioned in previous posts, I did a cartoon strip about a street musician named Busker back in the mid-90’s. Busker was a little guy who wore a beret and played the saxophone. The strip was for a local arts and entertainment paper, and ran for about three years.
The early strips usually had Busker playing his saxophone on a street corner. Later, the gags got more elaborate and involved non-musical settings.
Here we see Busker doing his best to honor his mother on her special day. A very Happy Mother’s Day to all moms!!
