I have to agree, I REALLY like this one. One, it’s done with no dialog at all, which I like doing as it allows the characters to “speak” for themselves with expressions and actions. Two, I love how the Mom is reluctant to go in but caves in to make her son happy. Of course, as a 16 year old, Bud is oblivious to anything but his own feelings, but that’s okay, as he’s just a kid.

Having the bass sit in that window for so long also brought some sympathy to the instrument itself, even though it’s inanimate.

This also gives us a brief look into Bud’s relationship in his family. You may or may not have noticed, but we’ve never seen Bud’s father and at this point I have not plans to introduce him. Dad’s and sons sometimes don’t hit it off and you’ll find out that’s true with Bud and his Dad.

Spoiler alert! Oops, too late… :D

Well done! Reading this, I looked back to a time during my own teenage years… thanks for the reminder!

There are very few Beatles songs I don’t like — “Here Comes the Sun King” was insipid, but I’d have to go through my albums and look at the track lists to find any others that got on my nerves. Nothing else springs to mind, though I’m sure there are more out there.

I liked just about everything they did but “Long and Winding Road” was kind of a downer.

Agreement on the shirt. There’s a constant balancing act between clothing the character interestingly, and easily. Classic looks (like the baseball shirt) often capture both.
