Starting A Whistling Club
If you are trying to start a whistling club,
don’t invite kids who eat lots of crackers.

Comic
One-Eyed Pirates
Captain Peanut Butter is a character I created when my children were young. I was driving the car one day and one of my daughters said, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.” Using my best super-hero voice I answered, “I’m not Daddy, I’m Captain Peanut Butter!” It became a running gag.
Many years later, after the girls had grown, I started creating silly quotes by Captain Peanut Butter and posting them on Facebook for friends and family. This is one of my favorites. I always imagined them as comics, so in 2018, I made this one.

Art Is Good For The Soul
They say that art is good for the soul.
So every day at lunchtime, Jacques and Camille meet at the Louvre,
and play Wordle.

Giraffes, Monkeys, And Wrestling
Any student of the animal kingdom knows that the lives of one species of animal are often deeply intertwined with the lives of another.
Take the giraffe and the monkey. It is more than shared habitat that brings these two species together. It is actually the love of sports that creates their strongest bond.
Most people know monkeys are a barrel of fun. But what they may not know is in the wild, monkeys like to host wrestling matches. I discovered this through extreme subterfuge and a very expensive giraffe costume.
But what good is a show without an audience? This is where giraffes come in. Giraffes love wrestling. But their anatomy makes them far better spectators than participants.
When there is no danger present (giraffes are excellent lookouts), giraffes often form a huge circle out on the plains and watch as monkeys participate in wrestling matches.
Because monkeys are relatively small, it can be difficult for a giraffe to see them on the ground wrestling.
So as one giraffe stood behind another, they would often stretch their necks, trying to see over the giraffe in front of them. Eventually, this led to the long necks they have today.

The best pirates have eyes in the back of their heads. Beware!
Art museums provide great inspiration for activities not directly related to art. More than once, my wife and I have been admonished not to pose with the statues for funny pictures.
