Since 2009, Spain & Morocco was serialized weekly at www.spainandmorocco.com, to much acclaim and a steadily growing readership. The story follows two young roommates, Walt and Dan, who decide to leave behind their uneventful lives to go on a two week trip through Spain and Morocco. With little money, not much travelling experience, and almost no social skills, they hope to find something that will awaken their spirits. What they do find is that the mundane routine of life as roommates doesn't always translate well to the hectic pace of life on the road. Their bonds of friendship are put to the test as the story takes a menacingly surreal turn. Fellows takes us on the journey with Walt and Dan, as they negotiate women and food and where to sleep at night, all rendered in gorgeous watercolours, and leading us to an unforgettable climax.
