I always tell people to do creative things they want even if they aren’t good at it and then with drawing I have never done that so I am starting with #sundayfishsketch and i made a pea puffer in the wrong colors that is all.

Picked a fish that had at least part of January in its name - Lutjanus - for my first #SundayFishSketch of 2026.

It’s 5:53am and we are 17 hours into the continued out-loud reading of Moby Dick. Our friends on the Pequod just encountered the French ship, the Rose-bud.
There are still about 100 people in the main auditorium, about about 200 reading along in overflow rooms or in sleeping bags on the floor.

Check out these Gen Z bros lighting up the Moby Dick Marathon reading at 6:10am right now in New Bedford, MA.
Most of the people who endured here in the museum up until this point are under 30 years old. Guys, the kids are all right.

We’re now 7 hours and 5 minutes into the Moby Dick marathon! Chapter 36 underway….”Enter Ahab: Then, all.”
I just took a 1 hour break for a fish sandwich and walk around New Bedford to stretch legs. But back at it! About to hunker down for the next 18 hours of reading…
