A Life In Pictures

 

My wife and I went to Max’s house for dinner last week. And Jules, Max’s wife, pointed out that Max had drawn a cat on the little chalkboard they keep in the kitchen to write notes and grocery lists on.

Well, I myself have been known to draw the occasional cat picture on a chalkboard in my time. However, it should be noted that my Chalkboard Cats are about what you would expect, namely:

Bob's Chalkboard Cat

Bob’s Chalkboard Cat

 

Whereas when the artist of this particular comic idly decides to pick up the chalk and do a Chalkboard Cat, it turns out more like this:

 

Max's Chalkboard Cat

Max’s Chalkboard Cat

A portrait of their tuxedo cat Emily, utilizing what I believe is termed “negative space.” He does this kind of thing casually, like it’s no big deal. But I bring it up only to assure you that in the allocation of resources involved in the production of this comic, the art is unquestionably being handled by the correct person.

Now buy a book.
