Topic for Illustration Friday: safari. As if. I would never go to Africa and watch animals kill each other. Vomit. I guess I would go somewhere, however. If I could…

Even in school. It’s cooler to be politically INcorrect, of course. And teachers never are. They have unions and pensions, and toe the line. For Illustration Friday, topic: Lesson. I…

Not that I’ve ever shied away from that.

chef cartoon - chef can't concentrate on food prep with radio on

Part of my Daily Special restaurant cartoons series that I do for a lot of papers.

Yeah, I love talk radio. Just discovered I Heart Talk Radio blog, who does it better. Maybe it’s because in SoCal we’re in cars a lot, but radio is still big here. (I am rarely in my car, so what’s my excuse?) It’s kind of a treat, and I don’t listen every day – I find it very distracting, since I concentrate on what they’re saying and I can’t read or do cartoons with it on. But when I’m just kicking back, or organizing or cleaning (ugh) it’s great.

Subject for Illustration Friday: Swarm. Naturally, one thinks of insects, bees, in a swarm. But what about reporters, hmmm? They swarm, and not in an attractive way. The news media…

I don’t think so.

Didn’t like any of the songs in Audition, and turned the sound down. Thought the new blond, quasi-Derek Hough was okay. The Filipino girl was kind of cute but didn’t like her voice. Quinn is one of my faves and she had only one line, if that, and no close ups.

The new football coach is the biggest fugly lesbo I’ve ever seen in any show, anywhere. Just an awful actress But will she get together with Jane Lynch, who outed herself this year as gay? Who knows. Typical Ryan Murphy, telling himself he’s pushing boundaries, by pushing his agenda in the face of straight people. (and picking unattractive people to prove he’s…not ugly?)

Let’s keep score on the gay list so far on the show:

Chris Colfer, Kurt, in real life and on the show. He outs himself to his father every other episode, so we’ll probably have another outing next week.

Jane Lynch, gay only in real life. I was disappointed to find this out about her, as it was so much more unusual to have a dowdy straight woman character who had given up on men.

Principal Figgins (Igbal Theba) only in real life. Outed himself years ago.

Not gay:

Matthew Morrison, (thank God), according to ELLE. I read an interview with him in the LA Times and he was ambiguous, however.
