I was reminded of this one the other day, and I can hardly believe I first posted it 19 years ago. It's like they say, "Time flies when you're wasting it online."

Thanks very much to the National Cartoonist's Society for this terrific honor, and congratulations to all the other nominees! Special thanks to the readers here on Bluesky who take the time to look at my silly bullshit.
