Sugarcoating

A reader left a comment here yesterday: “Yeah, yeah. Let’s shower each other with compliments. You scratch my back, I will scratch yours. All are happy. I’m fed up with the over-sugarness in the photo-blogosphere. “Brilliant!”, “Incredible!”, “Great!” … blah.”
Having grown up in a negative household, I prefer having my back scratched. Too much sugar is preferable to sourness and the occasional bitter taste that life insists on feeding us. But, dear reader, I appreciate the honest comment. Thanks!

They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught.
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool.
Aren’t we all so cool now? No.
Lyrics from Something Corporate, Cavanaugh Park

Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa’s Naughty List

Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa’s Naughty List

I’m proud to think that I’m on Santa’s Nice List. But I take secret pleasure in knowing I’m somewhere on his Naughty List too.

I was often very, incredibly naughty, and if I didn’t come home at tea time, I used to be sent to bed without any dinner. But people used to bring me things; I was better fed in bed.
Quotation from Diane Cilento

Sorry there’s no photo in today’s comic. I’ve been virtuously wrapping gifts and decorating the house this weekend. I’m hoping to avoid the last minute holiday panic that gripped me last year.

Proud to be on Santa’s Naughty List

Proud to be on Santa’s Naughty List

I’ve never liked people who were “Goody-Goody” because I could never live up to their standards. And that’s the point: why are their standards necessarily better than mine, especially in matters that shouldn’t concern them? If they think I’m naughty, it’s their problem.
*Note to Santa: If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.

No one’s gonna tell me
What’s wrong or what’s right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that I’ve won the big fight
Song by Adam Ant, Goody Two Shoes

Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Quotation from Albert Camus, Moderation and Excess

I make a virtue of my suffering.
Quotation from Robert Frost, New Hampshire
