I'm one of Gary Larson's biggest fans. In fact, it's his syndicated comic strip that made me want to draw. I'm pretty Bad at it, hence the BadlyDrawn s.n. but it doesn't stop me from trying to get better.
Years ago and before I really tried to put pencil to paper, I used the computer to create some comics. Some are on my profile. Terrible, I know, but the ideas were more important than the actual drawings, at least to me.
Larson has retired but the inspiration never died and his influence is still fresh to this day. It probably spills into many of my drawings, but this one especially. It's a bit of a tribute I suppose. Anyway, enough talk.
I've gotten a bit better since then. Just a bit.
For better or worse, Larson helped to shape this semi-conscious sack of protoplasm to where it can hold a sharpened pencil...and put it to paper.

Flash Fiction #2. The Appointment
Ainsley Goosebutt had to rush home from work on the Friday if he wasn’t going to be late for his doctor’s appointment. He had a quick shower, made himself a cup of tea and a slice of toast, and was back out of the door within forty minutes.
At the surgery, he took a seat and picked up a magazine to fill the time until his name was called. He didn’t have to wait long. After no more than ten minutes the receptionist ushered him into the consulting room.
“Mister Goosebutt,” said Doctor Hermione Huntington, “please sit down. What can we do for you today?”
“It’s my back,” said Ainsley, “I think I must have strained it; it’s really painful.”
“Could you just stand up and lift your shirt for me,” said the doctor, and proceeded to examine Ainsley’s lower back. “Mmm,” she said. “If you just get undressed and lie on the bench, I think I can do something about that.”
Ainsley stripped down to his underpants and started to climb onto the bench, but no sooner had he lifted one leg onto it than the doctor interrupted him.
“Mister Goosebutt, your underpants.”
Ainsley sheepishly removed his pants and laid face down on the bench, and the doctor began to massage his back. After a few minutes she instructed him to turn over.
“Strange as it sounds," she said, “back pain is very often due to tension in the groin.” She then poured an exotic smelling liquid onto Ainsley’s groin and went about relieving the tension in it. In what seemed like no time at all, Ainsley’s symptoms disappeared and he felt completely free of tension.
“Is that better?” asked doctor Huntington, and Ainsley nodded.
“Same time next week,” enquired the receptionist, when Ainsley emerged from the consulting room.
“Yes,” he replied, “but can I be called in for questioning by Chief Inspector Huntington next time, Please.”

Playing in the glandbox
I've been drawing people parts. Eyes and lips mostly-- making them interchangeable. A patchwork that might be called "mixed feelings"...or something.
I started putting them together and taking pics--occasionally sending to anyone wondering what the hell I'm doing all day besides getting high and playing video games. These are in various stages of "progress".
Annoying right? I think that's what my sis thought because she responds with "looking good. Now the nose."
Nose? There are no rules here! I wondered if it bugged her that there was no nose. The lack of order uncomfortable enough to make a subtle demand for completion? I respond with "I'm in no rush. The nose(s) can wait."
Then, and as an older brother should, I made everything right with the world.
Nose: "I ran the whole way!"

How to make hundreds of thousands of dollars easy
Go to the nearest fruit stand and buy a bunch of bananas.
Then go to a hardware store and buy a roll of duct tape.
Then go to your nearest snooty art gallery and
tape a banana to the wall with the duct tape.
Apparently, you just created art.
very expensive art.
Several of them sold in Miami for over $120,000 each.
Seriously. I'm not kidding. The world has gone bananas.
And to think, you've been working your whole life.

Duct-taped banana sold for $120,000 at Art Basel Miami
CBS News•December 6, 2019

A banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $120,000 at Miami's Art Basel this week — it may be the most talked-about artwork at this year's event. Two of the three editions have been sold, according to Perrotin, the contemporary art gallery behind the work. The last one is expected to go for $150,000.
The controversial piece, called "The Comedian," was created by Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian artist who had also entertained art lovers from around the globe in 2017 with his "America" 18-carat-gold toilet. However, the $6-million throne was stolen from England's Blenheim Palace over the summer.
Emmanuel Perrotin, the gallery founder, told CBS News that Maurizio's work is not just about objects, but about how objects move through the world.
"Whether affixed to the wall of an art fair booth or displayed on the cover of the New York Post, his work forces us to question how value is placed on material goods," he said.
He added that "the spectacle is as much a part of the work as the banana."
Some critics argue this piece is a perfect representation of what the art world has become with its gaping wealth inequalities. Others, however, chose not to go as deep and appreciate the simplicity of the art piece.
The artist first came up with the idea a year ago. He "was thinking of a sculpture that was shaped like a banana," according to a press statement from Perrotin.
"Every time he traveled, he brought a banana with him and hung it in his hotel room to find inspiration. He made several models: first in resin, then in bronze and in painted bronze (before) finally coming back to the initial idea of a real banana."
The artist reported no clear instructions for buyers on whether the bananas start to decompose. The Miami Herald reported that owners can replace the banana, as needed.

Kat Von D...
Tattoo artist, Katherine Von Drachenberg aka Kat Von D came on my radar a generation ago. Her work was flawless and intricate with the kind of details you'd expect to see engraved on a $100 bill.
She became obsessed making herself the canvas and naturally, the artists who worked on her couldn't come close to her perfection to detail. By that time, I lost interest in her work as she became in the spotlight of drama and culture.
It's been years, but I see in the news today that tattooing has gone beyond designs and people are getting solid blacked out ink... Kat Von D is also on the list getting blacked out tattoos of a new trend. Well, hey! forget about all those beautiful details, just dip your arms in black and cover them up!

ATTN: Native English speakers please.
Is there another way you can interpret this poem other than it's coming from a dead person ?
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Thank you in advance.

Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
