More behind-the-scenes mirth at my own expense, this time with perennial favorite Homeless Wizard Umbrella. Note that I had originally intended to use the word “enchant” rather than the word “conjure,” which would have totally nullified what little irony lies in the existence of a homeless wizard whatever. What a fool I was!
Just in case you can’t tell what the diagonal line on the right side of the wizard’s cardboard sign is, “that shit’s a magic wand, fool!”
The exclusive behind-the-scenes exclusivity continues. This week’s installment: Brickshaw.
And as you can see, Brickshaw was originally supposed to be a brick pulling a rickshaw, but (as should already be quite apparent) I’m not skilled enough to render such a thing.
Oh, in the future everybody has fingers growing out of their cheeks and chins. Also, they don't have arms. Did I forget to mention that?
On February the 14th of 2006 I posted a painting here entitled “Smug Refrigerator.” Not two weeks later, on February the 25th, I watched “Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit” featuring this little joke about British appliance manufacturer Smeg:
Is this just a weird super-creepy coincidence? OR IS IT IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT I TRULY HAVE THE POWER TO SEE THE FUTURE!?
You decide.
(Hint: it’s the second one.)

Dear Sir,
I found your "blog" or "binary logarithm" to be an hilarious catalogue of double entendres. I was disappointed, to say the least, at the lack of a submissions desk. Is this binary logarithm too exclusive to include the works of those who only spend partof their work day on a loading dock? I am literally brimming with funny situations involving pallets, but without a medium in which to express these situations, I'm afraid they will be lost forever. Help me Rookie, you're my only hope.
You asked for it, you got it!
