An explination OK, I'm guessing this comic is going to get a lot of questions. The garb donned by Jane is not traditional per say. Also, this comic does not fall into the Peru journey, though the garb it taken from an image of an Incan fertility god found on a deck of cards bought in the Lima airport.
This comic was done, because Summer Solstice is coming up, and it's as good a reason as any to throw a celebration. During summer solstice celebrations, there are groups of people who dress up and party old school pagan style. So the idea of mixing that dressing up with with some tribal rituals and the peruvian fertility god, seemed amusing. The person the character Jane is based on presented me with the idea, and it seemed funny.
The comic was done in jest, like all the comics. It has no statement or historic background. Just a marker for a chance to party tomorrow.
