Oh, How I Long To Click On These Tempting Advertisementicals

Excelsior, by Bret Harte

“Clickest not,” Google sayeth again and against. “For to click an advertising link on thine own Blogger blog would be a most heinous, treacherous untruth, great and sobering.”

And I lookest upon the decorous link for “Cartoon Animals” and the comely “Dog Leg Problem Remedy” and, with a great sighing, I say, “I do not, Sirs and Madams Google. Nay, I do not click. For I have signed with my penmanship hand a legal document agreeing thusly.”

So I type this unto you: Will thouest not click in my stead, so that in the year of our Lord 2025 I may behold a $100 payment of advertising revenue?

Thankest thee.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“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.
