Happy Birthday, Meriwether Lewis

I KNOW I'M A DAY LATE I WAS ON VACATION SORRY. D:

Mm, sorry for the cop-out, especially considering how much I prefer Lewis to Clark, and as such ought to devote a singularly AWESOME PICTURE to him for his birthday. ¬___¬;;
BUT I still plan to draw more comic-y stuff for the remainder of my L&C Month, and after a long vacation weekend, this was all I could muster.

Lewis's famous 1805 birthday meditation from his journal. I prefer to think of it as more of a determination on his part to put his best foot forward in the face of his own shortcomings, rather than a truly melancholic reflection, but it's pretty heavy stuff. Still motivating, when you think about it. *nods thoughtfully*
_{But it's especially sad when you realize what happened only four years later...more on that later this month.}

Well, it's a day late, but Happy 238th Birthday, Meriwether Lewis! Here's to furthering the happiness of the human race~
