This is kind of an obscure one. Ockham’s Razor: the rule in logic that the simplest explanation is the right one.
New Yorker Rejection
This is my first official rejection from The New Yorker. I submitted this cartoon way back in October of last year. So it appears their review time can take up to four months–wow!
I’ve submitted a couple others already and I’m trying to complete a batch of ten to send off at the same time. I think I’m better understanding the style and sense of humor they are looking for. We’ll see.
Anyway, this cartoon idea is a bit out of date…since we have pretty much moved into a new political season. But I still like it.

The narrative is always being re-written.
Archives Day
Here’s one from last March. I enjoy a good pulled pork sandwich.
I’d like to see a short reality series featuring Hillary, Bernie, The Donald and Ted, seated around a table eating messy food. (Each episode featuring a different item.) The catch is they cannot talk about politics. They have to talk about their favorite music, childhood pets, smart phones apps, etc.

One of my favorite MLK quotes: “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
By the way, I own a Dream Dictionary. It was recommended by a Spiritual Director I was seeing a few years ago. It’s very interesting–I’ve referred to it a couple of times after particularly vivid dreams.

My kind of non-violent resistance.
Today is my 44th birthday and I’m still learning how to be at peace with not being “productive”. Like a lot of people in this country I bear a sort of unconscious, Calvinist guilt that often keeps me moving even when I don’t need to be. Here’s to doing more of “nothing” in the year to come…cheers!

I was thinking yesterday about Alan Rickman’s death, trying to come up with a cartoon that would have Snape battling John McClane from Die Hard. That was too much work. I did this instead.

I think I have occupied both of these chairs from time to time… 🙂
