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.
