by Martín Solares
translated by Heather Cleary
It’s like a Spanish Tom Gauld
did for novels
what Scott McCloud does in
Understanding Comics,
using Mike Rohde’s Sketchnotes
(or Nick Sousanis’ Zithers)
Intensely literate
yet visual thinker
has 📈 my to-read list

Here’s a photo of the

Philco “Miss America” TV
my grandfather kept for the design but let me make

No joke:
If you can swim,
take a surfing lesson
at your first opportunity
Sinus rinses can help,
but nothing is as violent
as Mother Nature
I was a mouth breather
with minimal smell sense
until 3 years ago
🏄♀️ clears mucus glaciers
No wonder surfers are chill
Until then, see alt text:

Do you know Shrek’s song,
“I think I’ve got you beat?”
It’s playing in my head
after being reminded
that I was in fact alone
(until, like Matilda,
I could drive to the library)
So I raised my kids in the city
