Hulk vs Paradise (2002)

I avoid buying sketches off eBay preferring to obtain them in person, but there are some creators who just won't appear on my side of my map, forcing my hand. James Kochalka is one of them. Ever since I read his short story, "Hulk vs Rain," I've been a fan of his cutie Hulk. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to ask James for a Hulk vs Rain sketch, but until that day happens, this sketch will do nicely. What is Hulk doing in this paradise? It reminds me of the "One Minute Later" theme: Hulk vs Rain, one minute later. Did Hulk win against rain? Or is rain making him think he won? Nonetheless, Hulk smashie!
