The Best Thank You Note I’ve Ever Gotten

The Clipping Service–Two Great Quotes from the Newspaper

Yesterday, I was catching up on the last two weeks of The Boston Sunday Globe, and these two quotes floored me.

The first is from an interview with Anne Perry, an English author of historical detective fiction who was convicted of the murder of her friend’s mother in 1954.

The second is from an article from the Ideas section of the Globe on whether sincerity is an important qualification for a politician. (They argue it is not.)

 

Happy Passover!

Yesterday I did a talk at The Amherst Club, a rotary-type organization, and in the past few years I’ve tried to incorporate in my talks why it’s important for everyone to do art, whether or not they see themselves as “a creative types.” In my opinion, drawing is a low-risk exercise in tolerating uncertainty, a practice in not knowing what will happen next.

Lucky for me, (and all of you) some smarty genius just made my world-wide crusade to get people drawing much easier. It’s the really fun smartphone/ipad app called Draw Something, and there’s a free version. It’s a Pictionary-type of game that you play back and forth with friends, but on your own time. (Like Words With Friends is to Scrabble.)

Here are the two links to download the game. Have fun!

AND SPEAKING OF DRAWING…

Today I found myself on an airplane heading to Illinois for a family commitment.  We decided the Sky Mall catalog needed a little pepping up.  It began with a few moustaches and went downhill from there…

Mass Live Q&A– How Vomit is a Sign of Progress

As part of Women’s History Month, the Springfield Republican asked me some questions about women and humor and the biz of cartooning.

Speaking of funny, my cat Seltzer got a haircut. Now his head looks two sizes too big for his body, and he reminds me of a Japanese eraser.

Work Habits, Breakfast Habits & Escort Service Wishes revealed…

Today’s Interview With The Cartoonist Studio:  http://on.fb.me/xjTndu

This is my official picture for The Cartoonist Studio.  What is cropped out of the picture is my big black dog in his skunk costume.  The costume consists of a big white stripe I sprayed down his back  to commemorate the three times he got sprayed in the month of October.

Edouard Manet Comes Back From The Dead To Paint My Portrait

I think Edouard (or Eddie, as I like to call him) did a bang up job.

(A shout-out to the hacks at the NCS who dug up Manet and got him painting.)
