If zombies were intelligent...

There would be no zombie apocalypse. One of many reasons I want smart zombies, or no zombies at all. Please, and thank you.

Tim Hensley and David Heatley are hacks,

and I am tired of seeing their work in alternative comics anthologies like Mome and Best American Comics. If those guys are turning out some of the better indie and small press cartooning, then the industry is in a sorry state, but that's still no excuse for printing such tripe.

And in its more or less original format:

Sans colour artificial. Much closer to how it would have looked when I drew it in 2003 with some crappy cartridge loaded ink-brush.

Being the result of spilt ink.

Everything after that first punch is probably superfluous, but who said you had to be kind in a fight?

I am large. I contain multitudes.

An anti-Kantian strip (from 2003) in direct opposition to a previous post. I have more respect for Kant's epistemological work nowadays, but still feel roughly the same about his ethics. Boo, Kantian ethics!

Features the infamous Bottle of Injury and that familiar trope of the artist as God.

A vision of the east-side

Being the greater Seattle area's east-side, home of Microsoft, Nintendo, and so on. Quick, unfinished ink sketch from memory of the odd sort of office buildings you see over that way.

Variations on a signature, with notes.

The back of a page from a sketchbook, with minimal editing, featuring a silly attempt at developing a personalized hanko, eventually resulting in an abstract of a hamster in a wheel, as seen at the bottom left, a few odd sketches, and this rather long sentence fragment.

Note that, in that link which sort of explains what a hanko is, you can save one cent by purchasing a square stamp, rather than a round one.

Of empty and full cups and glasses.

I posit: A cup is half full if you are filling it. A cup is half empty if you are emptying it. If it is just sitting there, it is half a cup of whatever's in the damn thing.

I love editorial picture choices in journalism.

NYT headline: Poll Finds Paterson Deeply Unpopular

You should click on the photo to get a full sense of the composition. It really makes the man look lonely.

This is not a rhetorical question:

The rationale for having people deal with graphic depictions of Nazi internment camps and all that is not usually just that it is a fact of history, and people should acquaint themselves with it, nor that it tells us something important about the human condition, but that we must know about it so we can stop its like from ever happening again. So, I wonder, have efforts to educate people about the Holocaust actually done anything to stop other acts of genocide or mass murder?
