I am all over the place today. It might be lack of sleep or too much caffeine to make up for the lack of sleep — or both? But here we are. Some of this stuff is pretty new, some of it a little old. I was just interested in what might be written about … Read More “Things I Read Today: Sun Ra, College Admissions, Neuroscience of Writing, and Star Wars” »
It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted my online reading to this category. Weird winter weather and freelance work got a bit distracting. I want to keep up on this as a kind of reading diary and to keep track of the more interesting things I come across. Rarely will I … Read More “Things I Read Today: Toxic Masculinity, HG Wells, Pseudoscience, and Gen Z” »
Senator Elizabeth Warren released her proposal for universal child care in the United States as part of her presidential campaign platform, so I thought I’d do a little reading on how the policy has played out elsewhere. There is a LOT of research, so don’t expect this post to be comprehensive. Not even close. Here … Read More “Things I Read Today: Universal Child Care” »

But I’ve been feeling the bug to blog a little. Microblogging on social media can feel like too much brain farting. And … Read More “Things I Read Today” »

Last year I borrowed a Cintiq from my friend Barry Deutsch and started learning how to use it. One of the exercises I assigned myself was to ink and color in Photoshop a sketch drawn in pencil. I chose James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, because at the time I was reading Ulysses and had watched … Read More “Caricature: Joyce and Beckett” »
Right, so, I am sure you have just killing yourself with worry that the 9 or 10 political cartoons I drew in 2015 were just floating aimlessly in the void with nowhere to live. Well, now your personal (our national) nightmare is over. Today I created a page to host a gallery of the cartoons … Read More “2015 Political Cartoons Have a Home” »
As Fetch fans already know, I have been on a break from cartooning while I manage my mother’s estate. She passed away last Fall without leaving a will, so I am going through the probate process and slowly working out her affairs.
