I'm happy that Pee-Wee's bike will have a home at the Alamo. I'm less happy about the earworm. No, not what you'd expect ("The stars at night..."). Instead I have "Deep within my heart lies a melody...") 🎶

Something else unearthed as I declutter.
A decisive moment, perhaps.

I'm still going through old stuff. Here's a Jules Feiffer #Superman comic from one of my dad's old playboys, July 1959. And here I thought the "sensitive man" stuff didn't appear until the late60s/early70s.

Decluttering, I came upon this New Yorker Talk of the Town piece on Cuomo from 7 November 2022. The dude is ick.

Go away, sex pest.

Years later, after moving with them several times, I repurposed part of one as a window display.

Okay, I made my own, and their auto-generated ones are fun, too!

Yet another day I'm grateful that my daughter is a baker extraordinaire.

I worked at Kitchen Sink Press at the end of the previous century. When it was my turn to deal w/ the "slush pile," I came across this comic by Todd Ramsell. I don't remember if I sent him a rejection letter, but I had the comic pinned to my wall for years. I found it going through old papers today.

When times are hard, I abandon making art, which makes no sense, because that's when I need art the most. I'm trying to ease back into it by drawing a cartoon self portrait first thing in the morning. No pencilling first, just playing with fountain pens and inks.

A little backyard excitement today. A pin-tailed whydah came to our bird station!

We've seen them on the wires and in the trees, and females have come to the station to eat, but this is the first male who came into the yard.

A comic about the time my dad took me to Paris.
Thinking about him today for Father's Day, and tomorrow would've been his 90th birthday.
