From Sunrise Skate to Sunset Shred: A Visual Journey
Experience a perfect dawn patrol with this beautiful wordless comic strip by Bob Penuelas. This piece captures the pure, quiet essence of a surfer’s routine, following Wilbur from the moment his alarm clocks barks to his final, meditative tube ride. Without a single line of dialogue, Penuelas uses his intricate stippling and dynamic panel work to show Wilbur skating through his coastal neighborhood, observing the wonders of the Pacific, and finally finding his “oneness” with the ocean. It is a rare, peaceful look at the character that trades his usual “kook” antics for the simple, universal joy of a day at the beach.
