This n' That

Calvin & Hobbes

Pickles - September 20 2014

We are having beautiful weather here right before the start of fall, today was sunny and high 70's and I think tomorrow is supposed to be about the same.

I am starting to get myself started on indoor projects for the fall/winter. I changed up the blog a little bit - it was time for a visual update.

This 'n That

Calvin & Hobbes

I am not on Instagram, but one day on LOL Cats there was a picture from the Instagram account of someone in Japan that I bookmarked on my computer and will check out once a week. They have a dog and tiger cat and a foster kittens. This picture really made me smile this morning.

We are still working lots of overtime at work, for me I'm doing about 54 hours, some of the seasonals are doing 12 hour days which I cannot go more than 10 hours myself. But I am looking forward to it slowing down so I can at least have a 2 day weekend soon. Here are a few of the comics that helped make me laugh and keep me sane this week.

Cartoonist Bill Watterson

On Wednesday I saw an article on IMDB about cartoonist Bill Watterson who drew Calvin & Hobbes coming out of retirement, albeit briefly, to draw a few strips of Pearls Before Swine as part of a fundraiser for Parkinson's Disease.

I'm not a regular reader of Pearls Before Swine, drawn by Stephan Pastis, but when I read about him connecting with Watterson for three strips from this past week I had to check it out. The impetus for all of it surrounds a fellow cartoonist named Richard Thompson who co-founded a charity called Team Cul de Sac that raises money to fight Parkinson's, from which he suffers.

In the article, it explains that part of the joke and how this came about is that Pastis is not none for his artistic abilities, and Watterson of course, drew amazing cartoons, he is a painter at heart. Here are all of the strips from Monday to Saturday, enjoy!
