Over a year in the refrigerator and it’s fantastic…

Every now and again I flip through our first book and it still makes me laugh. @stevemartinreally.bsky.social

Based on real events…

One of many of my fathers’ journals…Jack L Bliss

Autobiographical one here…

I don’t even know if this is a cartoon, it’s just my life.

Drawings and an excerpt from a Goodreads review… “…What sets You Can Never Die apart isn’t just its inventive style, but its tonal agility. This a memoir that is a love letter to the people (and pets) who linger in our thoughts, even when they’re no longer in the room…”

@stevemartinreally.bsky.social wrote this caption. He has a terrific eye for art - better than most. Milton Avery inspired the art in the cartoon.

Journal things…

Works!

Most of this drawing was difficult…

Today’s Bliss cartoon inspired by my second reading of Moby Dick last month and a couple details of the ink and graphite drawing, which I find interesting…

If it tastes crappy, it’s his fault…

Here is a 20 year-old New Yorker cover on mine they bought and never ran - Giuliani‘s (rat-bastard) paranoia over immigrants…

Inspired by actual events…

Very kind of Alan Zweibel…
