They called him, Nickel Pete. Besides a slight tendency to loose grips with reality, he was an all right guy. When he would find a discarded soda can he would celebrate with a holler and a mild cough. It's been rumoured that between the load in his stolen shopping cart and a hidden stash (still unknown to this very day) that Nickel Pete has well over $85 dollars in cans. He has yet to cash them in and some think that he never will, because sometimes fortune lies outside of value and worth. He may not have a home, financial stability or clean clothes; but then again, you don't have $85 dollars in discarded cans.

Nice line work Micah. Again, I like the way that you distort things in your work (the building and the cart). Are you coloring with pencil?
Your character would have fit in well with this project:
