A second attempt at "Give It 100!" , since the first one ("100" ) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.
These are just rough sketches and ideas that are barely a little more rounded-out...they're not perfect but they're gonna be good enough to share here at least. Your comments, support, and words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated!

We feel at home watching war,
more at peace because it isn't us
than actually giving a damn.

I'm free to forget to remember
why this isn't supposed to be funny to me.
