I'm back, loved this post and will be linking it.

I'm busy doing 3 longer comic stories as well as moving my operations from a blog host to my own website (so I get the ad revenue) so not much doing at Boggart Blog blog just now.

Oh boy, thanks Ian! Wishing the best for you, your website, and your ad revenue. Although Small & Big is now splattered with Google ads, it has landed me a grand total of $0.47. Some day. Google doesn't pay until totals reach $100. May I live that long.

Oh dear. I know nothing about yoga so I'm frightened of putting my foot in my mouth by making some crass yoga joke.

Yogaists are a pretty forgiving bunch. As long as you don't walk in eating a non-organic, non-free range, non-vegetarian corn dog, you'll be okay.

But what if someone catches me staring at their foaming Ohms? Or spanking my own crooked plank?

Just nod and say "Namaste" (na-mos-tay) after everything you do. They'll be dazzled by your politeness. Even if you chose to devour that corn dog after all, a simple "Namaste" could save your life.

Fun stuff!

I once had a yoga student bring their Starbucks coffee into class. But never anyone light up a smoke.

Nothing says “I’m against this whole relaxation thing” like a jolt of psychoactive stimulant.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

Image
“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
