I’ve been busy with a personal project these days so haven’t been posting, but didn’t want Friday to go by without providing an opportunity to laugh, particularly at cartoons that were all in the same issue of The New Yorker!

    The progression of Chast’s cartoon in #3 is masterful. Who would have thought it would end with the word, “raisins”? Cracks me up every time.

    ‘Fess up: who hasn’t been victimized by the seating plan in #2?

    I’m not trying to be a particularly good person here – but the only boring people I’ve ever met have been people too locked down to be themselves. If you can pierce the veil, everyone is interesting.

      Wise perspective, Neola.

      And full disclosure, since I don’t really like large gatherings, I am very likely a “boring person” in #2.

    In No. 1, I love how one of the characters is on the lookout while the other one takes care of the issue at hand.

    Sharon, you’re never been the boring one at the table. And yes, I relate to No. 2.

      Thanks, Adrienne.

      Perhaps I’m just getting older and more ornery, but nowadays if I am stuck with a boring person at a party or table, I’ll most likely feign illness and excuse myself. Time’s a ‘wastin’!
