Ah, Coffee Houses... by @crisvan2 (Cristin VanCleave)

... you know I love them. There's no better place to complain to perfect strangers through- you guessed it:

OPEN MIC. NIGHT! (whoo!)

That character up there gestures... upwards is Joseph the Sad Little Beatnik, so named because he is insufferably emo (not that anything's wrong with that...), and has a love for the spoken work. My friend Bree helped me name him; her stalker was named Joseph, and always tried to drag her to coffee shops. Thus, this little guy was born.

He's angsty, he likes all forms of coffee, he works at Starbucks- HE'S JOSEPH! (please do not feed, he tends to bite) Artwork © Copyright 2002 Cristin VanCleave
