A Man of Faith Goes for a Stroll whowhatwhy.org/cartoon/a-man-…

i started to talk with this young woman about the risks of being genderqueer in the south. turns out it was the least of her concerns. i did this strip before the tragedy of uvalde, which gives it a horrifying new dimension.

tired of existential dread? take a brief journey with my cartoon strips back to the ad world of the '80s where your main concern might be finding an actress whose lips please the client.

the early '80s was a golden age of spending on tv commercials. this shoot also included a rope bridge, a bed of nails, and an eagle that got loose. (rest assured, george survived. if he hadn't, i'd have covered it.)

before google docs, dropbox, wetransfer, there were human messengers on foot and bike, carrying our work between studio, stat house, typographer, retoucher, agency, and client. the circulatory system of our business.

today's mental health break: if you know these movie references, you're likely a boomer.

sean kelly, a writer of lethal wit whom i met at the national lampoon, died this week. sean's words always leapt out with their precision, originality, and comic flourish. just ask his kids. 'the acrid smell of burning bridges.'

it was 1984, the game was irony, and it was afoot. here, in the guise of cartoon characters, sean kelly describes his latest book to me. (see the obit on sean in today's new york times.)

once in a great while, romance poked its head into my adweek comics, making for odd bedfellows.

cartoonists usually have some idea where their story is going. reporting in real time for my adweek series, i never knew where the punchline would come from.

if your natural drawn line is unruly and wayward, for this comic you'd need a ruler to make your point.

sometimes chancing on a real life punchline requires facing the right direction at the right moment.

occasionally i did a real life funny that moved the needle of humanity forward not at all. (google 'rodents on turntables.')

any resolution about self-improvement is a fragile thing.

remember the lost civilization when you could do office humor and people got it?

a comic from another time.

creativity in 1987 was not fueled by kale, kimchi, boba, avocado, soy milk, plant-based burger, gluten-free pizza...

given the casual corruption of two of the current supreme court crowd, i looked into one of the reasons why they're so untouchable. thenation.com/article/politi…
