Keeping Obligations

I said I'd make a comic... and guess what?

Fortunately, I received my quarterly email from FTF Geocacher asking for my submission so following the “Work smarter not harder” concept I learned in Grad School here you go. I’ll be playing around with the format until I figure out what works best.

I tend to use these comics to comment on things I have noticed in the Geocaching community. Sometimes, they are just relating an amusing anecdote shared with me at an event. I’ve gotten into trouble in the past for being too honest. Something about telling parents that they should actually pay attention to what their kids are doing instead of expecting the village to keep their child safe while they pretend that don’t have a kid or ignore their child’s horrible behavior. After being a public school teacher for decades, you’d think I’d know better. then again, I try to pride myself on being the one to tell the emperor to put some clothes on even if I’m sent to the gallows over it. Funny part, I’m still caching (just not as actively) and they’ve all left the hobby.

Besides working on this comic I also spent some time designing something for a bonspiel (curling tournament) I’ll be attending in May… It’s fairy tale themed. Unfortunately since I hand draw everything and even limit the use of silly things like rulers, my designs don’t always end up the cleanest or “most professional looking” but that’s my style and I’m sticking to it. Anything is better than some AI slop that I’m sure I will see.

As for next week… I’ll try, but doing stuff on the road can be challenging.
