A childhood tale of summer fun and car bombings

Note: I’m currently working on the post regarding the Worm and the Water Cooler (which must sound strange if you don’t follow this blog – for context, see this post). In any case, I was nearly done when I realized it required another illustration. It takes me a good, oh, I don’t know… day or… Read More A childhood tale of summer fun and car bombings

I Pretend to be Daring and All That

So I’m nearly recovered from our vacation and I want to tell you about the uber-exciting thing I did. This uber-exciting thing fulfilled a childhood fantasy of mine and made me feel gosh-darn giddy and… you know… uber-excited. I’m going to tell you about it even though you won’t find it uber-exciting. In fact, it’s highly… Read More I Pretend to be Daring and All That
