First a sincere question: the mass of orangish-red over the figure’s right shoulder? Tal’s ever-growing tresses? As for adjusting to the effects of the clock flop @ 2:00 am Sunday morning, your line quality in today’s drawing doesn’t suggest gobs of coffee being part of your strategy! Were I to attempt the drawing, my result would resemble the cartoon characters that get shocked during their antics. Once soft lines that next resemble shark teeth outlines.

Cal’s cashew diversion reminded me of a recent thought. Do folks/cooks sometimes pre-make potential Thanksgiving dishes to evaluate outcomes? “Will this satisfy my guests? Is the texture of this casserole pleasing?” And in this manner zero in on just the ones that pass the test?! Perhaps in that spirit, Beth brought home a pumpkin cheesecake from Trader Joe’s yesterday. 432 calories per serving! All of which reminds me of my grandmother’s remark, “The best exercise is pushing oneself away from the table!”

It isn’t that hard to remember a time when your drawings’ characters may have donned a coat devoid of a detailed lining. Much less the details of the belt and wrist (?) cinchers. I know they have a proper name. 🤔 I just don’t know it. 🙃 Just one more illustration of your approach: learn more by doing more! And so you did!!

T-shirt: “I don’t mean to brag, but I did just finish a puzzle in less than a day, and the box said ‘2-4 years’!” 😁

Deb has taken on card writing as a retirement mission. Usually just a Hello or Sympathy or Special Birthday or Feel Better Soon or whatever. Pretty cards are a frequent purchase in this house. So should any new lines become available...

Is it weird that I didn’t notice the issue with the liner but did look on the ground to see if I could find where the “n” and “t” snuck off to?

Also, when Cal eats cashews does Typist get to taste them or only suffer the consequences of said cashew munching? 🤔
