On one of those weekend trips up to the Bay Area, Lance and I headed up
to San Franciscco and visited Grace Cathedral on the top of
Nob Hill. The cathedral in Issue 6 is based very squarely on this church,
largely because the Episcopalian denomination whose church it is is of
the open-minded variety, selling pins with slogans like "Straight But Not
Narrow" in its gift shop. So we knew we had our hook for tying Daniel's
sexuality to his spirituality, a key point in the story as Lance had
planned it.
These are sketches I did while inside the church. I can't help it: every
time I see that baptismal font (lower right, and also visible on the
church's website), I picture Mario popping up out of it.
