The new character we see here is Hugo, a young boot legger from Canada looking to strike it rich in the USA.
During prohibition a lot of liquor was smuggled from Canada, and since Ithaca is only a few hours drive from the border, I figured it would have been appealing to make those runs.

@drwatson Steemit is gonna change lots of lifes, it has changed mine and many others but that is just the beginning. Followed
Thank you, I couldn't agree more. I hope it could become a digital patron of the arts!
Great to see new updates on the project. Bootleggers can be excellent characters, with interesting traits and introduce new story arcs. I am eager to see the inks on these sketches. Until then, I'll be sipping my totally-non-canadian *Jameson! *
Hahaha I should probably buy some canadian gin to get into character when I write...
Hugo is interesting, he's less of a Han Solo, and more... inexperienced and young.
A young & reckless dude, making the wrong choices, he might walk dark paths in order to get what he craves for...
