Diet While Eating: Fantasy Vs. Reality
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!

I hope you didn't forget to bring back some duty-free Lucky Charms™!
On the style: Yesterday I set myself the task of doing 10 cartoons. (From 3 sketchbooks of ideas.) I worked lean and mean to get just 3 done; and that only happened because I used my mechanical-pen quick-sketch style, with no penciling in first. (And on this one, forgetting to label the weights and put in jumprope-swish lines.) By day's end I only had one colored in. I figure the only way I'm going to get going on this cartooning thing is to pump it out and improve as I go along. As Cathy Guisewite says, "Accckkkkkk!"
And thanks, it's good to be back.
