   Since we're all about full disclosure, skanky digital delights have always been a thing for me.

What Is The Technical Difference Between A Goose And A Gander?

   A goose is any bird of the waterfowl family, the Anatidae, which includes ducks, swans and geese. The males are called ganders.

What Is The Euphemistic Difference Between A Goose And A Gander?

   When Bill Clinton got caught receiving a hummer in the White House, conservatives claimed that "Character Matters." When Donald Trump got caught on a live microphone saying he recommends grabbing women by the privates, the same conservatives said, "I'm not hiring him to be my pastor."

   So now you know how an old gander—who is the same age as both those old horndog ganders—feels about that old saying: "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

What's It Like to Be Remembered As One of The Best Cartoonists Who Ever Lived?

our mutual madness

"He can't drive, he can't swim. He's totally dyslexic, he's left-handed. He's practically blind. His glasses are an inch thick. My mom did all the practical stuff and drew as well."

—Sophie Crumb

   Aline Kominsky Crumb (Sophie's late mom), was at the University of Arizona Fine Arts College at the same time I was there (1968-71). I remember seeing her, outside the main entrance talking to friends. She wasn't famous yet, I just remember her because she was striking. 

Aline and Robert Crumb

   Aline graduated from the U of A in 1971 and moved to San Francisco where she met that other Robert. And, here is my crude homage to her hubby, one of my cartooning heroes:

   Actually, that is an homage to two of my heroes: R. Crumb and Frederick Remington. And that whip out is a parody of this Remington illustration:

Daily Whip Out:

"BBB Does Remington at San Carlos"

   And, sometimes I channel them both and end up here.

Daily Dusty Whip Out:

"Disturbed Individual Approaching"

   He shouldn't be here, but there he is ambling up the drainage ditch on old Highway 93.

"Never give a sword to a man who can't dance."

                        Daily Mini Whip Out: "El Goofoso"

   I've had several people ask me what I am going to do when I retire in December. Well, first of all I am NOT retiring. I am simply stepping down from my position as Executive Editor of True West magazine. Because. . .

"There's no retirement for an artist. It's your way of living so there's no end to it."

—Henry Moore

"Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness."
