Sunday Funnies: 09-12-2021

Sunday Funnies is on sabbatical. How long depends on how long it takes me to come up with something new. Anything new. Got totally pulled back into music last week and got very little artwork done. And I've run out of old stuff to recycle. So I'm using a quick carrot this time ... but next time I'll use the stick (in the form of a drawing pen). Are there blue carrots? There's blue corn. Actually, this one looks sorta green. Have a great, safe and healthy week and may all sentient beings know peace, love and joy.

Sunday Sketches: Mexico Trip, 1987

 In 1987, Beverly and I took a trip to Cancun, Yucatan, Mexico. Beverly was a veteran Mexico traveler. It was my first trip to mainland Mexico and I loved it. Herewith the few sketches I managed to do there. Wish I had done more. I hope you enjoy these!

1. We took a ferry from Puerto Juarez to Isla Mujeres and stayed at El Presidente hotel, which was located on a spit of sand east of the north beach.  The next year, 1988, the hotel was totally destroyed by Hurricane Gilbert. It has never been restored because of the frequency of hurricanes on that coast. 


2. The swimming pool at El Presidente, where a pair of frigate birds fighting over a fish dropped their prey into the pool next to Beverly with a loud "Splat!". Some text from my journal is included:


3. A very hasty sketch I did from memory of one of the huts we saw on a bus trip to Chichen-Itza. That simple bus ride (and other travels) opened my eyes to how dramatically different from our lives in the United States much of the world. To hear about that is one thing, to see it, another.


More photos of the ruins of El Presidente are here: http://www.earthdancer.org/MPix/ElPres.html

Thanks and have a great week!

Sunday Funnies, 07-18-2021: Caption Contest Winners!

 I'm taking a day off today for a special event. But I do have the winners of last week's caption contest: Peter Margolies and Beverly Byrd Loomis ("What's for dinner?"). Can't give the prize to my spouse, that'd be nepotism, so Pete's the winner. Have a great week!:
