I drew the wood fired mug and lemon on the table listening to an interview with Lynda Barry on NPR's Talk of the Nation. Lynda became a favorite cartoonist of mine in the 80s when I was dog sitting for my parents and my roommate and I decided to henna the top knot of their chocolate brown standard poodle. Lynda had a cartoon called Poodle with a Mohawk that kind of captured the moment. The dog was beautiful and kind of startling after that. My father thought it was best to walk the dog after dark.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk, I would just be depressed all the time.  Lynda Barry
