There are no coincidences?
At Telluride today,
I rode a ski lift
with a guy in this jacket
& found myself showing your Nostos spread to total strangers
(He was ok with my taking a photo,
but I felt better justifying my enthusiasm)
Alas, the “old jacket is from a company that went out of business”

How do you keep track
of which jokes you told to whom?
Do you keep having to make new material?
A fun part of EM is being able to tell the same jokes again & again, getting a “tighter set” over the years 😂
The NICU isn’t ripe for comedy &
even geriatrics can’t pull this off!

Perfectly proving your point,
that it’s all about the journey
Alt-text revealed the subtle “?”

The idea/message/font are yours,
the spirit is a bit Grant Snyder,
but he doesn’t own it; kinda like making your own The Far Side gag
wish I could take the class

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

I’m having fun with this,
not meaning to be picky,
just wondered
Do you want the learner’s path to end at the B or maybe a different B’?
The wavy part in the beginning to suggest a human face in profile?

Yeah, so concisely:
Anything that … robs you
(I’m concerned for 2x negative)
Also, what if the starburst at the end was more like fireworks, representing the joyous feeling of a brain being tickled?
I read it with an NPR accent:
“for THIS… is learning.”
& it’s already 👍
