June Has A Hat

“In the Swarm” by Special Guest Artist June Mullins
June has elected to draw her own hat and we – that’s the Royal “we”, I guess – are totally blown away. I know my hat’s off to her. Here’s what she has to say about it:
Beekeepers say that in center of a swarm of bees that there is a peaceful hum that creates a sense of calm. I guess I am diving in to find that spot!
Many thanks to all who played. Let’s do this again sometime soon.
The “Middle” Way
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
Chuck the Chick asks, “Do you follow a spiritual path?”
“No, I’m a cartoonist. I follow my middle finger.”
Colleen says it’s the cartoonist’s coat of arms. But she doesn’t like the one at the top.
Bridget says it’s my divining rod.
How divine is that!
Contest!
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
I promised I’d get off the doom and gloom and get to something more cheerful. Let’s have a contest! Name this character. Tell me what you know about this fabulous beastie. I dibbs the cat. The cat is the little creature on the left. Its name is Phoebe. There is a prize. I just haven’t decided what it is yet. By the way, if you want to see any of these images larger, right click on them and choose “View Image”.
Say hello to the people, Phoebe.
“Mrkrgnao”? I wonder where she got that?

Portrait of the Artist as a Sad Dog
Me and Chavez
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Hugo Chavez gave Obama a copy of Eduardo Galeano’s “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of Pillage of a Continent”. It immediately shot up to number 2 on Amazon.
Curious as to how often the U.S. invades (oops, I mean “intervenes”) in Latin America? History of U.S. Interventions in Latin America lists over 50. That’s once every two or three years. This list is not complete. Maybe we were fighting Communism? Nah! As you can see at another List of U.S. Interventions in Latin America, we’ve been doing it since before Communism was invented.
Here is a poem of Galeano’s that I love. (Apologies for any mistakes in the Spanish.)
Cultura del Miedo
Si haces el amor, tendras SIDA
Si fumas, tendras cancer
Si comes tendras colesterol
Si bebes, tendras accidentes
Si respiras, tendras contaminacion
Si caminas, tendras violencia
Si lees, tendras confusion
Si piensas, tendras anustia
Si sientes, tendras lcura
Si hablas, perderas el empleo
Culture of Fear
If you make love, you’ll get AIDS
If you smoke, you’ll get cancer
If you eat, you’ll get colesterol
If you drink, you’ll get into accidents
If you walk, you’ll get mugged
If you read, you’ll get confused
If you think, you’ll get depressed
If you feel, you’ll go crazy
If you talk, you’ll lose your job
