I can’t draw. I mean, a lot of people say they can’t draw, but I’m in awe of the artistic abilities of the guy who does XKCD.

So in some perverse way, it pleases me that no cartoonist on the planet seems capable of drawing feet (normal human feet, that is, not Grog feet). For once, everybody’s down to my level.

I was reminded of just how old I am when I met Shortpacked’s David Willis at the Wild Pig Comic Con in Springfield, NJ Saturday afternoon. My wife came along for a single reason: to tell David she’s a great fan of the Batman gags he writes into his strip. He drew her this

which she’s going to hang on the wall in her cubicle at work. And then, since gardening takes up most of her free time in spring and summer, she of course had to buy this
