Whenever we have visitors in town, it’s fun to play
tourist and see the sights we usually ignore because they’re always too full of
tourists. Of course, I always like to sneak in a few sketches along the way,
which can be tricky when touring with non-sketching friends. I’ve written
before about all the strategies I use (see part 1 and part 2 of my recent family reunion in Oregon and last year’s trip to the Minnesota State Fair), so I won’t go into them again here.
Suffice it to say that the No. 1 trick is speed (each of these sketches took
five to 10 minutes). The No. 2 trick is distraction: “Oh, look! Those fish
mongers are throwing salmon to each other! Go stand over there for a better
view!”
