Not Politics

I didn’t want to send a regular email today. If you are feeling anything like I am feeling, you probably have enough on your mind.

So I decided to just do something completely and totally random. I created some stream of conscience cartoons and a little cartoon story. Not my usual, but not politics either.

Insert Cartoon Here

If there were no conferences how would you know which of your favorite theorists curse a lot?

I think I could be happy just calling myself a designer if I could just not give a shit about accountability.

My first job was in fast food. You quickly learn, if you do a good job cleaning the bathroom, you will keep getting asked to clean it. Better to not do a good job.

I always did a good job.

I read a lot of Mad Magazine as a kid.

When I doodled in high school and college, I drew eyes like this (surrounded in big circles)

There are a lot of brilliant people who are just no good at the web

By sharing these weird cartoons, at least one or two people will likely unsubscribe. I shouldn't care. But I do.

I don't know who the world wants me to be. I don't know who I want me to be.

I wish I was better at reading books.

I wish I could sing. But not enough to try.

Sometimes I draw a character just to look into her eyes.

Throwing Stones

Imagine tossing a stone.

You just picked it up and threw it. Why? Who knows.

And then you turned and left.

But what happened to the stone?

Maybe it landed in a puddle with a big splash.

Maybe it struck someone in the head.

Most likely it will just bounce across the ground and skid to a stop.

But you didn't look. So you'll never know.
