cartoons

I was asked, recently, why I never scan my cartoons and post them here.

Lots of reasons, I guess, ranging from 'I don't like using the scanner' to 'I don't draw very well' to 'an embarassing number of my cartoons express my deeply felt superiority to others in class.'

Here's a stab at it, though- this one's from yesterday's Ethics class. Something or other was being said about objective and subjective grounds for ethics; I'd give you more detail, but I was busy trying to draw an owl. It looks better here than it did in class. The question, I suppose, is whether the owl is talking to her friend in the tree, or to me.

And then there's reiterating my feelings on Ogden. Reading On Theology has not been one of the highlights of my week.

Appropriately, today's Word of the Day: 'inscrutable, adjective:
Difficult to fathom or understand; difficult to be explained or accounted for satisfactorily; obscure; incomprehensible; impenetrable.'

None of the reasons you list for not (previously) scanning and posting cartoons fly with me--but you've seen my cartoons, so you know that.
In any case: hooray! I hope we see more cartoons!

We'll see- today I was too busy with disrupting class to draw more than one cartoon, and that one isn't postable.

What could possibly make a cartoon not postable? I hope it's not of the dean!

"...freebasing on a mixture of meth and thesauruses"-- I love it! That's Ogden in a nutshell.

More, please.
