The Look of Love

In my weekly newsletter to subscribers of my creative writing thing The Naked Cartoonist, I explained that, like a NASCAR driver who has to pick up his dry cleaning and grab a few things at the market in the middle of a big race, I am driving myself too hard…

Shrinking Threats

Because I cleverly programmed my various cartoon and creative writing crap to post on the internet while I was gone, you probably didn’t notice I’ve been on a much-needed vacation.

For a couple of weeks, Olive Oyl and I were in California and visited Yosemite National Park. 

Yowza! That place is so not ugly, we could not help but be inspired and humbled...

The question of whether the puppet at right is yearning for freedom from an unseen overlord or intending to end his life suddenly occurred to me as I posted this today and has inspired me to write an essay about that question in The Naked Cartoonist in the very near future. As usual, it will be philosophical comedy or comedic philosophy.

As for today’s cartoon…

Early Skywriting

The act (if not the art) of writing has become exponentially easier in my lifetime. I took a typing class in 9th grade and still contend it was the most valuable thing I learned in school. I have typed exponentially more often than I have solved for x…

Getting Stoned

Around eight or ten years ago, King Features asked me to move my blog to their Comics Kingdom website. I like KF, they’ve done right by me, but I decided against it for several reasons, chief among them was that you’d have to have a subscription to that site to read my posts.

They’ve recently redesigned the whole site and it’s much better, but I’m still staying here.

How To Worry Less About the World

It’s a politically scary time on planet Earth. But it’s important to note that this is neither the first, nor the scariest time our species has experienced, by a long shot.

You could fill a volume the size of the Manhattan phonebook (trust me, they were huge and the type was tiny) with a list of the catastrophes humans have caused and/or endured in our brief time here, but I won’t attempt to cite them. Just know that …
