PhD in philosophy, but mostly dumb jokes. Sometimes I mention serious things. This is, invariably, a mistake.

I still can’t believe how tough it is to find Occam's Shave Cream. I would have expected it to be simple and uncomplicated.

I'd look forward to a world where 'I understand the books I read' moves from a common skill like 'I can brush my teeth' to an exotic one like 'I can fly a helicopter' except it's here already. 🤔

Once knew a guy who didn't get a job because he brought a disposable plastic water bottle to the interview (instead of a resuable one) My impression is that people get rejected all the time for random shit and there's no way to anticpate every possible freak pet peeve. Trying will drive you crazy.

My son (12) and his friend just got 3rd place in a Fortnite tournament. He's so happy, it's great. That's 3rd out of over like a 100K teams. Nerd Dad me wishes I had the actual total, so calculate the exact %. Don't usually mention personal info, but had to post due to an excess of paternal pride.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.
