Perfectly proving your point,
that it’s all about the journey
Alt-text revealed the subtle “?”
can be more clear in final version
The idea/message/font are yours,
the spirit is a bit Grant Snyder,
but he doesn’t own it; kinda like making your own The Far Side gag
wish I could take the class

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

I’m having fun with this,
not meaning to be picky,
just wondered
Do you want the learner’s path to end at the B or maybe a different B’?
The wavy part in the beginning to suggest a human face in profile?

Yeah, so concisely:
Anything that … robs you
(I’m concerned for 2x negative)
Also, what if the starburst at the end was more like fireworks, representing the joyous feeling of a brain being tickled?
I read it with an NPR accent:
“for THIS… is learning.”
& it’s already 👍

an early school drop off

I can’t generalize,
but Boo would sooner starve or eat garbage than taste dog food;
we have to add crumbled dehydrated chicken treats,
AKA “flavor burst,”
for him to empty the bowl
There are two wolves inside him

That’s why I write
(especially d/c plan)
w/abundant ‘negative’ space
Average intelligence
being average,
it helps most people
to have empty space
around each clause
to stop & identify
the part that tripped them
This has alternatively
been confused for poetry
and called annoying
(coincidence?)
