The Art of the Handshake

Another short little sketchbook comic. This one is about the greeting of people, which is something that generally confuses me. Do we shake hands? Or nod? Hug, wave, fist bump, high five, or do the cheek-touch-kiss-noise-thing (which raises all sorts of other questions like which cheeks are we going for, left to left, or right to right, and if I go right and s/he goes left, oh no no, we might end up actually kissing, and is it going to be a double or a single, and I'm clumsy, and sometimes I come in to hard, and it's more of cheek mash then cheek touch, oh brother) (and all of this has to be processed in like two seconds). It's very complicated.
