I’m having a tough time picturing David skateboarding happily.
Determinedly, yes. Focused, yes. Injured, probably.
But not “Happily”.
And that’s a shame. It’s something you should do happily.

Skills come from somewhere. Who knows where that wellspring begins?
Might even be from an imaginary skunk ape. You never know.
It’s amazing what people will do, for the li’l hospital kids.
We don’t all become our parents… but most of us are more like them that we can perceive.
Just don’t point it out to anybody. You’re not out to start a fight nor nothin’.
You see those documentaries about the earliest hot dog skaters, dropping into empty swimming pools and riding crazy up to the edges and all. And you can’t help but think…
That’s not their back yard. Who’s pool is that and when are they gonna come busting out of the house with a shotgun?
I have no idea what to write tonight. I’m exhausted.
Here we are again. I’m learning this iPad thing, but I tell ya… it ain’t no 1963 light table with a sheet of heavy paper and a Raphael brush, it ain’t. It ain’t a desktop Mac, neither. At least I’m not drawing for you on my phone…yet.
I visited the Wacom studios in Portland last weekend. Wooooo, now, there’s some hardware, ladies and gentlemen. Wave of the future. Light table, paper, and computer all in one. People will wonder one day what a ‘scanner’ was.
traveling again already. But the power’s back on at home. Learning more about doing the strip entirely on an iPad. Because of the craziness, today you get the sketch first!
if you have any advice, I’m listening.
So, on Sunday morning, Mark Simon and I went for a little skating. Old guys, and each of us had a new board to play with- He because his son newly works at a skate shop. Me because I bought up some parts years ago with a neat idea for a really nice custom build… that I finally just slapped together and rode. Here’s a photo of me about to lose the board to my hind side as I had to R-U-N-N-O-F-T to the fore:
And here’s me and Bill Morrison (The Simpsons, Bongo Comics) you’ll have to guess which of us is which, the disguises are so utterly complete.
And here’s a photo of one corner of a room that had been filled with books and goodies to be put in bags for the St Jude kids. All the stuff eventually made it into bags somehow… Thanks to my kids, Lonnie Easterling and his kids, Dave Garst, and Dr. Aaron Shafer and his kids.
Did you know there’s a Hirschfeld caricature of Danny Thomas at St Jude? There is. It’s waaaaaay up on the wall so that cartoonists can’t grab it and hide it in their stuff.
Three Gregs. Greg Walker (Beetle Bailey) Greg Evans (Luann) and that guy.
And there’s Mark Simon doing a nice turn at the top of that rise. His new build had really nice bearings and really soft wheels. Soundless, around the park. Unnerving, you might call it.
