In real life, Arlo wouldn’t even have to turn the light on, but then I’m allowed to draw him flipping a light switch.

Denise, thanks for the kind words.
Ghost: “paean to pomposity”… your comment is better!
As some of you are aware, I know a number of authors, some of whom are much better known in their fields than the artist mentioned above. None of them have ever, to my knowledge, published anything as pompous, self-important or self-congratulatory as what was linked to above. Clearly, that man is a legend in his own mind.
Noted here before that a fave SF author, Ursula [Kroeber] LeGuin, has said, approx., “Don’t be too sure you want to really meet the author.” I’ve watched her online, and still think I’d like to meet her. A male craftsman/artist, discussed above, may be as skilled graphically as UKL is linguistically, but I think we’ve found her case in point. Peace, emb
Good one, sideburns!
Debbe and Denise:
Thank you.
This is one of those days that such words mean even more.
Galliglo:
“You are a scientist, and those of the scientific nature usually do not “embroider”. Neither do mathematicians. It is usually we who lean toward the various “liberal arts” that have to be more careful!” As scientists go, I am adequate: deeply committed to scientific integrity, but not responsible for any major advances/insights. I also consider the sciences, properly taught, as essential to a liberal arts education, and am deeply committed to the lib arts in general, and to several subjects in particular [e.g., G&S].
I can embroider with the best of them, but not like some pathologic scientists I have known, and others I know of [e.g., some who have testified on the effects of tobacco use in the past]. We had two, over the years. The first a borderline personality that eventually sought success elsewhere, and the second a charlatan who resigned to enter the private sector in the snake oil business.
Peace, emb
