A Night on the Town

jeremy — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:37:54 +0000

The streets of Vienna were awash with footsteps and cosmopolitan echos. We entered a wine store – make that a wine bar. Hoighty-Toighty. Blazers and ascots. Connoisseurs in their realm.

Blair handed me a bottle of red for five euro off the shelf. I approached the counter.

“Can you open this?” I handed the bottle to the clerk.

“Yes. Will you be drinking it here?”

Hmmm. That sounds more expensive.

“No, we will drink it outside.”

“At the tables in front?”

“Um, no…At the park.”

“Very well, sir.”

Obviously we are out of our element here. Look just open the fucking wine, okay? After all, this IS Europe. We are civilized, not European, but entirely Europesque.

Mr Fish on Reverend Wright

This recent Mr. Fish cartoon is from Harper’s Magazine. I assume that they granted me implicit permission to publish it on MugMud because Harper’s is a great publication and Mr. Fish is a nice guy.

Dave Valeza created a sensation with the following illustration of himself as a teenager walking alongside his current self. Illustrators have submitted hundreds of personal sketches to his blog in response. The results are intriguing and show the collective experience of teenage misfits that grow into quirky, accomplished, and confident artists.

Below is Dave’s illustration.

I wish I could recall the source of this cartoon to give credit to this clever humorist, but it escapes me…
