Yellow is the moderate primary.

We are now so polarized that we can’t even pass legislation that makes sense because it would be seen as a “loss” by the powerful lobbyist groups that control our political system. Sigh.

More wordplay. I really enjoy simply sitting back and letting my mind drift over words…breaking them down into parts or sounds to see what they might reveal. Thanksgiving stuff starting tomorrow–or later today.
I’ve decided to start submitting cartoons on a regular basis to The New Yorker. This is the pinnacle of the cartooning world as far as I’m concerned and would definitely be a feather in my cap. Of course every other cartoonist would like to be published there, too, so I’m competing against hundreds upon hundreds of cartoons. Still, nothing ventured…
The New Yorker only accepts previously unpublished work (even on a blog) so that means I’ll have to hold (what I consider to be) good work back from this site until it has been either accepted or dismissed by the magazine. This will probably create a new reoccurring feature: Whiteouts rejected by The New Yorker!
First cartoon was sent in last night…wish me luck.
My contribution to DEFLATEGATE. I almost added the line “Mom always says, ‘Don’t play ball in the house'” before I realized that was another episode. If you’d like to view Marsha’s nose meeting the football you can do so here. If you don’t know The Brady Bunch or are unaware of current NFL football controversy…tune back in tomorrow. 🙂
