I took my canary for a walk today.

A neighbor friend saw me outside swinging my bird cage with canary included, and asked, "And where are you two going today?!" Busted! Most people are at REAL jobs during the day, and so I feel free to walk around the courtyard in my raggedy shorts that are too short, and goofy top. Not to mention ...

The fixer-upper man.

"You're not a fixer-upper, are you? I'm looking for someone in move-in condition." For Illustration Friday, subject : Fix. Is this not so perfect for the New Yorker? Very wordy, just like they like 'em! Also, to the point, and the reference of move-in condition, ie, NY real estate. Plus party. Plus nice house. Plus back east, ...

But you know who they're talking about, right? And the word they might be thinking of? Only a few more days left to love ...

Pick-up or hook up?

For Illustration Friday, of course! Guess what the topic is. LATE. As I always complain I am. Fortunately, the pleasant people at IF never complain. I hardly ever do single/dating cartoons anymore, except to please myself. I'm practical; there's nowhere to sell them. Yet isn't it something like some huge % - okay, just looked it ...

I finally found a comic strip about kids that I like – Cul de Sac.

You may have noticed that I didn't have a blogroll that included other cartoonists. Until now. Richard's first book, Cul de Sac. However I noticed a long time ago that blogs who have the courage and selfconfidence to link to others, grow fat and plump. One of the early blogs I went to, Manolo's Shoe Blog, is ...
