Heathcliff approaches the meat store in a brown blimp that says BEEF CIDER in big yellow letters along its side. Two employees watch him, and one says "I love this time of year."

One of the main reasons fraternities still exist is that membership signals to potential employers that you’re capable of keeping institutional secrets, even when it means covering up illegal behavior.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make this one of those weekly memes.
That classic meme of the cartoon cat Heathcliff riding a ham-mobile with a helmet on that says "Ham" as two old ladies watch from the safety of a ham-colored house. One of the ladies, Grandma Nutmeg, is speaking. The caption reads, "Is it Thursday already?"

Gavin Newsom just sold out the entire entertainment industry to particularly evil billionaires so that other generally evil billionaires will feel more comfortable donating to his soon-to-be failed presidential campaign

There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other.
A city that exists There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other. Like a closed electric circuit (?) I could explain that better but I spent my life appreciating art. There are pieces of writing that stand on their own without any supplementary information but there's a reason that when we read a classic poem or short story we usually soon after want to know when and where and under which conditions it was written. Same with music. You can hear a song you like and appreciate it knowing little but the first question people often ask when you play them something by a new band is where are they from? It’s funny that you should ask because they are from a city that exists. Art is a conversation where the particulars of the world are made universal and the universal is made particular. Think about how powerful an engine of imagination it is for a young person hearing a band and learning that they are from some far off place – Tokyo or New York or even somewhere gross like the UK. It is a time portal. It is magic. It even works if the artist dead. So too with a painting. The little information plaque in the museum is an extraordinarily powerful tool. What if it said no one painted this nowhere? Well then you’d be looking at nothing. And now what would you be?

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil. Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book. A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.
