Cuba Sketchbook: SEK & Snoopy Part I
February 11, 2010, filed under: SEK & Fika, Sketchbook, by Lex
Snoopy & SEK run through the jungle.
Generally SEK travels with his Fika, but on a recent trip to Cuba he met up with his old war buddy Snoopy for a week in Havana. The boys reminisced about their days in the revolution and took in all the old haunts, as well as some new ones. First up was Revolution Plaza, where the two heroes are commemorated for all to see.

Afterward the boys went drinking at one of their favorite dives in Old Havanva, an Austrian brew pub where they serve the beers in huge hookas! There was much rejoicing.
Of course, no night on the town would be complete without a little dancing, so SEK and Snoopy took in a terrific flamenco performance at the old opera house.
Afterward they made their way to another haunt; a local favorite where the music is loud, the crowd is friendly, and the cigars are Cuban (naturally)!
While there they met up with Hilary (Rhymes with Orange) Price and Tom (MAD) Richmond, who shared a cigar kiss!
As the night drew to a close SEK wandered back through the cobbled streets of Havana to his hotel, El Tejadillo, where he looked forward to a recuperative sleep, but was scared pantless when he opened his room door to discover the bedsheet in the shape of a swan?!
It was a Cuban chambermaid custom poor SEK never got used to.
But those mojito night-caps were surely something he could get behind!

Your drawings of Cuba are more realistic than my photographs. I’ve been in therapy for weeks now, trying to come to grips with towel swans on the bed. The horror. The horror.
