I write novels, draw pictures, and play music. Sometimes I even show them to other people.

Okay, I can KIND of understand how I ended up with two copies of Born to Run, but I need someone to answer for this.

I'm going through my record collection and found what might be the silliest one.

I had all kinds of jokes to make about this Polaroid until I realized it was 38 years old and crumbled to dust on the spot...

Found this in my record collection, gave it a listen. Probably the driest narrator I've ever heard do anything. He sounds like he's reading instructions for changing a tire.

"The Beacon" was a story I wrote in 1999 about a shapeshifting Cougar detective chasing a carjacker into a Florida swamp. Nobody on the police force knows he's a shapeshifter, but he always seems to get the evidence and bring down the bad guys.
And that's it. 31 days, 31 images.

We've all seen people develop narratives that they refuse to question, and experienced the frustration of challenging them.
Charlie Brown expects Linus to start questioning himself after last night's fiasco. Instead, Linus flies into a rage, which shocks him.
There's always next year.

He's now embarrassed two other people in addition to humiliating himself, but he still won't examine his own beliefs. Everyone walks away frustrated, leaving him sitting among the pumpkins.
Once again, his jerk of a sister has to sigh, shrug, and save him from himself.

At one point, Linus gets so worked up that he passes out when a beagle blunders through the garden.
Needless to say, Sally is NOT happy about missing Halloween, and tears a strip off him for all he's cost her. Bad enough he screwed up his own Halloween, now he's screwing up other people's.

...While Lucy, of all people, picks up the slack.
This was starting to feel familiar. Remember, Linus and Sally are expecting *largesse.* They ain't doing this for nothing. But the person actually doing all the work is the biggest bitch on the team.

Sally gets to spend Halloween night sitting in the dirt while all her friends are having fun. And while the moral support must have been nice, she ain't there to buck him up. She expects a return on her investment.
Linus desperately spends hours proselytizing against Sally's increasing skepticism.

It's implied that this is the first year that Sally is old enough for Trick or Treats. But, rather than collecting a pillowcase full of snacks and hanging out unsupervised at the party, she opts to stick with Linus.
Granted, it was a choice; no one forced her.

But, cling he does. And while the myth is no less logical than Santa Claus, he's the only adherent - blissfully unaware that he's the only kid in town preparing to spend yet another Halloween sitting in the garden.
Until this year.

The story is a little off anyway; Linus always struck me as the brains of the group, so it's strange having him cling so hard to his narrative.
And the whole "Great Pumpkin" story has been explored as some sort of religious metaphor in the past. (Schulz disagreed.)

I watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and something about it hit different this time.
We all know the story: delusional Linus convinces little Sally to wait around in a pumpkin patch for a Santa Claus expy called "The Great Pumpkin" instead of going trick or treating.

Hiking is excellent recreation - a long walk along a marked trail through picturesque scenery to a fixed goal. It's like a game you always win. I represented the many day-hikes of 1999 with this sweaty hiker reaching for a branch as he nears the peak.

What do you think: Narcissus vibe, or is he just contemplating his reflection? I think it's the latter.

All right, this one's a little embarrassing. That pun was hardly original 26 years ago and it hasn't gotten better.
But I did want to practice a sealskin effect in pencil, and he was fun to draw.

I don't know whether this picture has anything to do with the Patreon story "You Can't Win The Mall," but apparently the image of a werewolf showering in a mall fountain is one I've visited before...
Malls don't really have fountains anymore, do they? Apparently unattentive people kept falling in?

Oh, the impatience I would feel every Spring, waiting for the Maine weather to warm enough to brave the ponds and rivers. No wonder I keep throwing my characters in the water to cool off.
Anyway, here's a bear who decided not to wait. Viva la fur.

I don't draw landscapes very much; frankly, I don't have the patience. I've always drawn faces with tight details and bodies with broad strokes. By the time I get to the background, it's like, "Three scribbles. That'll do."
Been watching a lot of Bob Ross videos lately...

I found a bunch of these Zodiac pictures that I don't remember drawing. (Gemini is *weird.*) This one was my favorite.
So is the surfboard tiny, or is he eight feet tall? Personally, I think he's eight feet tall. And also, it's a tiny surfboard.

Is it just me, or is social media kind of grim today? I mean, just generally, not associated with any event in particular.
Well, here's a wolf-friend swimming with a pair of dolphins to brighten up your Thursday.
