YARD SALE + THRIFT STORE

Saturday purchases.

Aw yeah, a new hat!! Four bucks. (I am totally leaving that sticker on there.)

Later:

That's right! Baseball cards for Greg.

1981. Also they are jumbo. (And one is autographed!)

PLUS:

From a bin of old-timey art supplies.

"Radiant." Also for G.

And, the best napkins on Planet Earth:

For one dollar!!!

Quite the day.

I ran a race

In Central Park.

The sun found my legs.

Pie weights

Whatever's in that jar on the windowsill.

Curiosity

Satisfied.

At the studio party

Greg and Tayvee made this drawing:



Way to collaborate, guys!

Watch out

Looks like some urban beavers are moving into a new territory.

Gonna build their lodge right there.

They do not care if that is your front door.

FOUND ON TRASH DAY

Ring toss set!

Deluxe, natch.

Also:

"Slider" Jarts.  Official size and weight.

These ring toss rings would make cool bracelets.

I was practicing

Drawing myself looking sad.

Then I added balloon bodies with flippers?

I put my back out today at work

I was just sitting there, fretting, when it suddenly seized up.

When I got home I lay down on the floor and Greg performed some amateur chiropracty on me. During which I had a good view of the too-seldom-visited lower-left corner of the bookcase:

Instead of getting up and making supper I chose a book to read:

By our friend Seth.

Featuring Greg's arm holding a stick in the "Do it Yourself Section":

And many other interesting craft projects.

Sometimes, lying on the floor reading a book is the best thing to do.

Mad Magazine

As you may recall, my friend gave me a bunch of old Mad magazines from the 1980s.

I rediscovered Dave Berg!!

"The Lighter Side of..."

It's just SO WEIRD.

Their faces, their clothing, their bodies . . . I was FASCINATED with them when I was a kid reading my brother's magazines.

Wouldn't you be?

(He also got Home Boy.)

Officially

It is sandal season at the rooftop bar.

It's sad

But when I saw these colored bendy straws, in my head I went, "Wheeeeeeeeeee"!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Good-bye old shoes

Thank you for your service. I was once very excited to own you.

(I'm finally putting them out on the curb.)

What's for lunch?

Upside down chicken dinner!

I used to be quite small

That's me in the checked skirt, eatin' plums with my brother and sisters.

Greg

He surveilled a dog.

Good job Greg!

Yes

Why NOT bundle twigs together with masking tape? Why NOT throw the bundle onto an old sock?

I made this!

Even the crust was delicious!!

Trash

In the can by my side of the bed.

Is it your birthday?

I found you a chair.

Trash

Aw. No longer wanted.

At least he has his broom and his pipe, though.

A big slice o' cake

It sure improves a coffee break.

Greg birthday presents!

That is correct: Seattle Seahawks wrapping paper (only for very special occasions).

Asparagus

Put it on pizza!

No dice

I left these books in my bike basket all day, hoping someone would take them.

Nope.

I have another copy of Lord Jim, and I just read Sandman (once was enough).

Dog surveillance

They have replaced the dog.

With a fake dog?!?!?!?!?!?

I hope the li'l guy is OK!
