Artist Geolyn Carvin, who creates the cartoons in each edition of Tahoe Weekly, has released the second in a series of hiking cartoon books. “Boots McFarland — 20 Years on the Trail” spans the history of the Boots character from 2003 to 2022. It contains more than 130 comics moving through the seasons, showing the evolution of the artwork and of Boots’ personality. Its colorful illustrations are for grown-ups, though most kids will enjoy them, too.
“I had a lot of experiences on my hikes, mostly amazing, sometimes uncomfortable, occasionally painful, and most often humorous. I enjoyed writing a journal and soon discovered that it was fun to draw a snapshot of the trail comedy that we all experience. I’ve been drawing a cartoon weekly (more or less) ever since,” she said in a release. | bootsmcfarland.com
