A Good Week I have several venomous cartoons in my head.

A nice end to a good week.

So many uses... I had NO idea when I first drew this one that it would be a VERY reusable template for “I didn’t vote for this”.

In which i get to repurpose my cartoon..again!

Friday musing... I am disgusted every time one of those videos of a small boat being annihilated in infrared shows up on social media.

Some History (...and a little wish fulfillment)

A fun little history lesson post.

A figure pulls a cart toward a town. The cart is filled with red roses.

She wants romance? She needs to feel special, to feel loved and adored? A dash of charm, the scent of flowers?

I'll give her romance. This cart of rose petals should do, if I can get them to the town before they fall out of...

Dang it.

Pedalsome wench.
