So, finally, I put up a banner, as I hope you can see above. It’s not the ambitious, evolving comic strip I envisioned, but maybe later. It’s a crop from a photo of my computer monitor. The TV tuner was playing CNN, and the “WHY” on the screen just happened to be there. For emphasis I sharpened the monitor and blurred the wall behind it.

A while ago I succumbed to my friend Tom’s interest in seeing a more interesting favicon (pronounced fav icon, like two distinct words). So I did neither dog nor rat, but my walrus character. It was done pixel-by-pixel in the Windows Paint program. The intent was to make it appear as though the walrus was moving out of frame, and to make him seem a bit menacing. Tough to do with 256 pixels, but I think I succeeded.
[Jean picks up on an inspiration for the walrus character, which was originally based on the forgettable Wally the Walrus cartoons from Walter Lantz – Doug]

Jim Carrey is one of those actors you either love or hate [I Am The Latter – Doug]. He was brilliant as Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon,” and of course, “The Truman Show.” However, he seems to be constantly mugging and trying to find himself, as is visible here with his over-the-top gesturings at poor George Martin while recording “I Am the Walrus” for Martin’s 1998, “In My Life,” which had various artists doing their versions of Beatles songs. Since I never heard of the CD before, it must have been a stinker!
