It wasn’t any longer wait then usual for the bus, but the drawing seemed easier to do then the usual sketchbook time filling doodle. In meditation you are always faced with how random thoughts keep coming into your head and distracting you from paying attention to your breath. It seems really stupid to pay attention to your breath. I mean big deal I’ve been breathing for fifty years. Why pay attention to something you’ve been doing for so damn long?

But in this drawing I felt more focused on just the drawing, not waiting for the bus, not the cars zipping by, not the people waiting with me, just drawing. I was paying attention to the drawing in a way that felt different. I’ve been drawing almost as long as I have been breathing. But all the practice of paying attention to the breath seems to be creeping into other things now. Funny to feel a shift in the drawing even now.

The red guys are showing up the life on her planet has red guys just like Mars.

I have Multiple Sclerosis, it’s not a big deal for me, because each morning I stick myself with a needle and shoot some magic drugs into my fat. Those drugs keep me walking, talking and working, a productive member of society. I have a great wife who works an office job so we have insurance and I can play artiste. Today I got the MS Connection from the Multiple Sclerosis Society. It’s headline,

“HEALTH CARE REFORM USHERS IN A NEW ERA FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH MS”

It then covers the next 4 years and the changes for the better that it’s going to make for all the people with MS, it’s an end to the fear and pains of dealing with Insurance Companies doing everything they can to kill you. It’s a real level of peace of mind for people with MS. It’s what Government is supposed to do for you , make every one’s life better, not just the rich a-holes of Wall Street. Not just the Rand Paul’s who suck at the tit of Government handouts but try and kill it’s benefits for all of the rest of us.

It’s what Democrats do for people and damn it, today I’m really proud of my President and my party.

Carabella finally spills the beans to Nick, will he be a sensitive guy? Pr is starting to hit the web and people are mentioning Carabella that it’s going to be released in San Diego. It’s weird to come back to print comics and find they have fully embraced the web. Haunted man and Spiderman Online where so early in the web they have been wiped out of all the histories of comics and web comics. it’s like we never did those and they didn’t exist. Whine whine whine goes the artist
