Seriously. Great TV? Lousy reality.
And yet, we still say stuff like “Well, I saw it on TV…”
I guess THAT’s drawing to an end.

Bear Grylls. Man, that is one distinctive name, ain’t it?
Like Rip Torn… or Dash Riprock.
We’re cruising up on Weird Week, folks! That week when I don’t typically find the time to make new cartoons.
Not that I don’t want to, mind. It’s just the other stuff that goes on.
But we’ll see.
Also, I’m late sending out Patreon Patrons’ Christmas goodies, and I apologize for that.
I thought there was another word for those soft icing-spreading kitchen tools, so of course, I went to Google. Turns out ‘icing spatula’ is totally a thing. And you know what that means- there are VARIOUS SPECIALIZED SPATULAS! How weird is that? I might be using an egg spatula to do fish! I might be using a cast-iron cookware-only spatula on a teflon pan! Those paint scrapers in the basement might be some kind of spatula, too!
The mind boggles.
If you let it.
How’s everybody’s Christmas or other holidays shaping up? Good, I hope! Better and Best, if you’re lucky!
I think it’s in Bill Bryson’s ‘A Walk In The Woods’ where he mentions how many Americans (That is, citizens of the U.S.) only walk between buildings and their cars. Living like that, it actually takes days to walk a mile.
Fitbits came later, but the point remains.
Years ago, when some buddies and I went into a lot of caves, Gary was asked what he thought of a particular cave that you had to sort of wade into.
Gary had a dry sense of humor and said, “I didn’t know we were going to get DIRTY!”
They did not ever let him forget that he said that.
My uncle could draw cars. He couldn’t, as far as I remember, draw anything else… or didn’t while he was in front of me, but straight out of his head, he could draw race cars. In proportion and correct.
He made false teeth and was a surveyor for a living.
I draw for a living, and I draw cars as if I hadn’t ever seen one in person. It’s very distressing.
That’s the nice thing about naming things about bad dreams… plenty of reference material to pull from. Name an author who hasn’t made some poetic reference to nightmares and dreamscapes.
I think Cthula must have seen that bulldog that skates.
Have you seen it? Good video.
