Hi, anyone out there. <br />
I just heard Lyle Lovett's version of"Brown Eyed Handsome Man" on his latest CD. It's very different from the Chuck Berry's version but it's cool and jazzy.<br />

The last cartoon of cats in hell was a clue that the constant heat was wearing me out. But my real excuse is the "Sticks" calendar. For some reason it seemed to take forever this year and I really just needed to make it be done!<br />
So for your patience I have found an artifact from the Pre-Cambrian era [the 90s] that may amuse you.Before I was a professional cartoonist I was playing around with ideas. The drawings back then were all done with Rapidograph technical pens. This gave the work a very clean look but not much freedom of movement or line. See what you think; I have a few more that are just kind of odd. But I still like them.<br />

Is the AC running or the fan humming? It's that time of year when strong men collapse from the sun and strong women use an extra hit of antiperspirant. The dog scratches and pants and the cat...? Ah, the cat is a whole nother creature.<br />

The farmers have been unable to plant their fields and the rest of us have jungles for lawns. But perhaps a change is coming. The jet stream is back up where it should be and let's hope the tornado season will calm down too. With these thoughts in mind, I bring you hope!<br />

Probably most of us servers had the odd rude person now and again but for the most part people are what you would expect, a little tight with the tip but nice enough. And then there's the impossible @#$%!<br />

But the horse was the one for me. When he came to live with us Robin was 22 years old and I was 4. My parents didn't even consider allowing me to ride at that age and all I wanted was to be near him. So I spent four years just hanging out with this amazing creature and learning some deep lessons of love and patience. I'm telling you all this because I have a rare horse cartoon coming up. And I do mean rare. Something about being mentored by a horse has left me reverent but not very playful when it comes to equines. It's a personal blind spot, I think, but once in a while I get one off.<br />

I was lucky to always have someone to love and I remember feeling deeply sorry for kids who were pet-less. So for all the Moms and Dads out there who are holding out, reconsider. It doesn't have to be a dog; even a lowly hermit crab can be a friend.<br />
