I made it to a Flamengo game on this trip and was even more pleased to be able to attend a game where we beat my wife's team, Botafogo.

If you ever have the opportunity to go to Brazil make sure you are able to visit Maracana for a match.

I did this sketch to thank our friend Fabricio for taking me to the victorious game.

I have been Missing but still in Action. We have been in Brazil for the past month on "vacation." The family was able to relax for most of the trip.

But I was glad not to be forgotten when I received an email for a new spread. Seen here are a couple of the process shots and a final illo. Hope you enjoy.

One last bit on Brazil, if you think it is just the beach you are wrong. There is some beautiful graffiti on every wall bridge and tunnel. It constantly changes and it alone is worth the trip.
