"...next stop is Willoughby"

Most of the lingering heated values of the 20th century will be gone soon. This of both the extreme right, and left. Not that anything will be settled. Not that these two extremes will make peace with each other. The culture wars will just peter out as it's warriors get old, and younger folks don't pay any attention. History just moves on to other things.
We'll take up other obsessions, and immoveable positions.
The train just keeps moving on.

"...don't shoot me"

I'm going through another period of being withdrawn, and nuts. No matter how I try the news keeps leaking through. Now I see that the gun nuts, via altered photos, and doctored videos are saying all the kids marching for their lives are communist lesbians.
Actually this sounds fine to me. We could use some more of these.
The American culture wars are disturbed to the point of psychotic.
More cat videos for me.

"...pain"

I used to dismiss pain as nothing noble. "Pain is just fucking pain nothing more" I would always say, and mean it. However on further reflection, and as my pain physical emotional spiritual continues. I see that pain our many kinds of suffering makes us who we ultimately are.

We are what our pain, and our reactions to it makes us. Is there a nobility in that after all? As or if I live longer I'll try to see.

"Proto"

Here a sole surviving page from one of my first comix. This titled "Evergreen". It was a sweet hippie pacifist proto-ecologist effort.

This done in I think 1974.  A mere 44 years ago.

I was just beginning my small press adventures.

Hippies still roamed the Earth in those long past hopeful days. 

"Gloria Mundi"

Eh,...was this what Comrade Ludwig Wittgenstein was on about?

"~\\A//~"

"My Simple Life"

I'm a breath from 70. Angels protect me. It's how I made it this far.

"~@~"

Oh if only by clicking my Ruby slippers three times I could make a big Happy Cat appear in my digs. Umm...with 'all' her shots catnip toys, and no serious desire to eat me.

Yeah this 'could' be trouble down the line, but I'm sure me, and Kitty can work it out

   People always choose the worst they can find to replace the worst they found before.

"...breath"

I share my intimate life here because I don't realize how dangerous it is to do that. Besides Angels protect me. I'm a breath from 70. It's how I made it this far.
