All is Fair in Love and War

“What happened to the chocolate?”
“I ate it. It was there for three days. You had as many opportunities to eat it as I did.”

Symptoms of chocolate toxicity include: hyper-excitability and hyper-irritability; increased heart rate, restlessness and urination; muscle tension and tremors. Complications include hypothermia, seizures, cardiac arrest, even death. Death can result from intoxication… No antidote exists for chocolate poisoning in a dog.
Quotation from VetInfo.com, My Dog Ate Chocolate: How Much is Toxic?

There’s no road map on how to raise a family; it’s always an enormous negotiation.
Quotation from Meryl Streep

Bothered

This memo was in today’s interoffice email: “If you don’t use your sick days, you will forfeit them at the end of the year.” I naively thought sick days should only be used if you really are sick. Heh.

McKenzie: I tried to talk to her in the coffee room she’s totally not having it.
Tom: Maybe she was just in a hurry.
McKenzie: And maybe she’s an uppity, better-than-everyone super skank.
Quotation from the movie (500) Days of Summer

Dwight Shrute: Dammit, he put my stapler in Jell-O again!
Quotation from television’s The Office

It’s in the small print

It’s in the small print

Girls just know this stuff: Keep your knees together. Don’t get drunk (in public). Dress with respect. Remember to write thank-yous.

“The Recently Deflowered Girl” – Illustrated by Edward Gorey (Joey deVilla’s Personal Blog) You say: Come to think of it, even ordinary lichee nuts make me dizzy.

In Gorean mythology it is said that there was once a war between men and women and that the women lost, and that the Priest-Kings, not wishing the women to be killed, made them beautiful, but as the price of this gift decreed that they, and their daughters, to the end of time, would be the slaves of men.
Quotation from John Norman, Dancer of Gor

If you value my advice, do what you want.

If you value my advice, do what you want.

Today’s comic was suggested and written by Golfwidow. Everyone
needs validation. When we ask a friend for advice, we want an honest opinion.
We also want encouragement that we’re on the right path.

Golfwidow is an accomplished author. You can purchase her book here:
==> Getting My Think On by Sondra Harris. (P.S. This is not a paid ad)

Note to Nurse Myra: Yes, the header photography is (almost) always my work.
The lone exception was a red convertible “stock” photo used in one of my early comics.

Lastly, I did another “Guest Strip” over at Wireheads this week, starring Chase. Go see. Go see.

It’s Not Art If You Need Permission

It’s Not Art If You Need Permission

Graffiti has worth. It beautifies a city. But Mark My Territory tags or
destructive Throw Ups are not cool. There is often a fine boundary
between good and bad graffiti. The art is in knowing the difference.

Lady Pink Turns Graffiti into a Positive Art (Queens Tribune)
Graffiti is a serious problem for a number of reasons (British Transport Police)
Brownie, You’re Doing a Heck of a Job (MadeYouThink.org)

“His achievements read like the graffiti on the walls of a hangman’s changing room.”
Quotation from Jonathan Larsen

One of my favorite comics is The Flowfield Unity by Adam York Gregory. He recently featured graffiti in his comic too! Small minds often think alike, which is pseudo scary, or kismet.
