Looking for feedback — er, feedbag


Maybe I'll test this out...

C'mon down!

Never go down part way.

When I asked my family what color Amalickiah's phone would be, nobody batted an eye. They answered and kept on eating. Do other families have that kind of scripture conversation around the dinner table?

Masked benefits

When wearing masks first became a thing, a friend sent me an article that said masks were going to pose a challenge to cartoonists. It would be very difficult to indicate who was talking.

I thought about that as I drew this cartoon. The intent is for the wife to be saying that to the husband. But it could work equally as well — if not better — if the conversation went the other way!

Protection comes in many forms

It actually wasn’t all that unusual to see a monk wearing a mask back when I was in Korea. Maybe they’re on to something!

Sketchbook: By their fruits

Remember the days of Walter Cronkite, when he'd sign off with his tagline: "And that's the way it is"?

When I was in j-school, we were required to have multiple sources for each article, plus we needed to include opposing viewpoints if it was a controversial subject.

Nowadays, those lines are blurred. Anyone can claim to be a journalist. Opinion is represented as fact, and facts — like the points on Whose Line Is It Anyway? — really don't matter.

I'm feeling a little jaded at the moment. Maybe I'll put away my electronics, grab some Calvin and Hobbes and go sit in the garden for a while. See you tomorrow!

Play it again, Sam

I have to give at least partial credit to fellow cartoonist Summer Bird for this one. It was inspired by one of her old cartoons, yet it's completely different.

It's also very much like band class back in high school. I was always using someone else's notes rather than my own!
