Most recent three fountain pen drawings.

A faceless hatted man wearing a three-piece suit, in the company of insects.

A castle on a huge rock, floating above the water.

A somber group of figures surrounding what appears to be a bed.

This is why I'm a menswear "cheat". I haven't worn a proper dress-shirt and tie in several years.

“Captain Cariad! There’s an unidentified object off our port bow!”
“Very good, Mr. Davies, fetch lieutenant Jones.”
“Aye, Captain…ahh…”
“Well, out with it man!”
“Sorry Captain! Ah, which lieutenant Jones?”
“THE BLONDE ONE.”
“Aye, captain!”

Checking the game score from the bath. Blue Jays up one.

(I’ll let you paint the visual image in your own head.)

I'm rather enjoying the fact that I posted a very mildly kinky drawing and didn't panic the censorious robots. Time for a bath.

(Yes, my dearests, I think aloud on here.)

Hey, sometimes the best reason to make a piece of art is because you're feeling a bit horny. Not a damned bit of shame in that, I feel.

Evening sketch (fountain pen on paper.)

I sincerely believe that our times require a rereading of Joseph Conrad. The United States is currently engaged on a massive, racist, ethno-state colonial project and this has been attempted before, you know.

The Past isn't the past. It's here with us. Right now.

Give others grace. We need kindness in these parlous, cruel times. Give people the chance to ask for forgiveness and give it to them if they are penitent. Give people the benefit of the doubt, for we all need it these days.

Give your friends a hug. They very likely need one. 🙏

One of the various reasons I favor a nice turtleneck under my jacket: much less expensive!

I have a couple of collections of "Wizard of ID" comics by him and Brant Parker from the olden days and they are gloriously funny.

Johnny Hart (1931-2007) had a deeply depressing trajectory. At the top of his game in the 1970s, he was one of the funniest newspaper cartoonists. Then he went mad and turned into a foul bigot. What a shame.

It's rather fun to go through old family documents and see names that you really don't encounter these days. I've got a Cyril, a Nelson, and a Eunice!

Me: This sentence makes no sense!
Also Me: That's because 'solid' and 'stolid' are completely different words.
Me: *rereading* Ah yes, now that does make more sense. Thank you, me.
Also Me: De rien.

This will tickle my ex-Mormon friends. I once saw a news blurb that swapped "LDS" (as in Latter-Day Saints) with LSD and it gave me the glorious vision of a bunch of squeaky-clean Feds tripping their heads off.

"Well, how did it go?"
"I told her she was like a fine humbucker."
"You WHAT?"
"Hey, it was my best pickup line."

The Yeti was known to do hundreds of sit-ups and crunches daily.

This is how he came to be known as "The Abdominal Snowman."

"One of my favorite French words is the word for rubber."

Actual conversation:

"Hey! You look like somebody."
"Do I?"
"Yeah...who do you look like?"
"I'm not sure, but if you find him let me know. We need to have a chat."
"I'm telling you, you look like that guy!"
"That's what he said about me."
"What?"
"Never mind."
