Decappuccino – Crowdsourcing a Comic
Decappuccino Version 1, by Andrew Thomas. Decappuccino Version 2, by Mustafa Kandaz. Last month, in the weeks before Christmas, my son Quinn coined a term for a new kind of espresso drink while I was making my morning brew – the decappuccino. We chuckled about it, and imagined what the (potentially deadly) effects might…
