This Year, Next Year, Sometime, Never

Cowley Road, looking from near the Maroc Deli to Alma Place.
            It's in the future: global warming has turned the garden plants
            to cacti and palms, the houses look different, there are rocket
            cars, and two Buck Rogers style people are walking past the
            Maroc Deli. One is saying to the other, "Next year, they say,
            we shall DEFINITELY have a carnival."

Description

Cowley Road, looking from near the Maroc Deli to Alma Place. It's in the future: global warming has turned the garden plants to cacti and palms, the houses look different, there are rocket cars, and two Buck Rogers style people are walking past the Maroc Deli. One is saying to the other, "Next year, they say, we shall DEFINITELY have a carnival." I drew this in 2012, when it seemed the carnival might never happen again, but I'm very glad to say that it has.
