dandelions



I don't. I really don't have a problem with dandelions because it's hard to hate something that has such a need to live and thrive no matter what you do to it. I just wish there was a way to genetically graft some of their tenacity into food that's grown to be eaten. I mean, wouldn't it be great if fruit trees and wheat stalks could regenerate with almost supernatural speed after being wiped out? Somebody much smarter than me needs to start working on that.

Juniper Street



I watch and draw fictional people walking down a fictional street. This is a flimsy concept I've had stewing in my head for a few weeks. I might even change the name of the street.

kloups 4/18



Once again, to play along at home just make a sentence where each word you use must begin with the same letter that the previous word ended with.

consumer review



THE POTTY PAD

I generally don't have much faith in anything marketed with the line "as seen on TV", and my lack of faith is usually validated. I also don't hold out great hopes for the animals I live with and their ability to act like the pets seen in magazine ads and TV commercials. The Potty Pad is a 3' square of fake grass resting on a plastic tray that your dogs are supposed to use for their eliminations as opposed to carpeting and other forbidden surfaces. I assembled it per the very short sheet of instructions and put it in a common area for "accidents". Smaller dog breeds have irregular schedules for peeing and pooing, and it can be difficult to time their walks. I've walked Winnie in ten minute intervals some evenings and still can't get the timing right. The Potty Pad seemed like it would be the solution -- it was NOT. Neither dog wanted anything to do with this damn thing. I put them on top of and they couldn't wait to get away from it. They would avoid even walking near it and I almost broke down and used it myself. I didn't of course because then I couldn't have taken it back to Petco and got my fifty bucks back.
In conclusion: Don't buy this.

copyright infringement friday



Anybody who saw my old AOL blog will probably recognize this. Yes, it's not only copyright infringement -- it's recycled copyright infringement from four or five years ago. I used to draw this walking talking pear character, and saved quite a few of the pictures that were horror movie-themed. Oh well ... Summer is coming soon and that's the season for reruns.
