Bob Dylan Comics: A trip to Hamburg

I had no map. I had no ticket...

Time for some more Bob Dylan comics!

By the summer of 1998, I’d been working as a flight attendant for one year, and I’d got the hang of things - especially standby travel. In this comic, I flew home to Calgary after a visit to my friend in the States, then hopped on my usual work-shift flight from Calgary to Frankfurt. In Frankfurt, our layover was 24 hours and 35 minutes long. Would that be enough time to get to Hamburg, in the north of Germany, to see Bob Dylan? Maybe, if I was lucky enough to get a seat on a standby flight…

It was an open air show. The evening weather was beautiful. I hadn’t slept in 24 hours! But that didn’t matter… I was there!

You can listen to this whole show here.

Who was Collins? The airport janitor who found me sleeping on a bench before my early morning flight back to Frankfurt, where I’d meet my crew for the flight home.
