30.6.11The Last Unexplored Places on EarthI realise that I never linked to that marvellous tweet illustration (of my tweet) done by cartoonist Beck. I think it's the best imagining of eight of my words that I've seen. Beck's characters are of the big-nosed, big-mouthed, fat, feckless, put-upon sort. Their small struggles become medium-sized to almost large ones. These too round creatures are too human. In other words, they're cartoons. Classic.
I feel a bit sheepish when I look at 'my' cartoon, because the drawing seems so much greater than the little words it sits on top of. And yet the cartoon needed the words. I guess, finally, it's a happy relationship. 'The last unexplored places on earth are indoors.' 25.6.11'And for those of you who are hard of hearing—listen!'A poor listener will listen for hours and hours.
7.6.11More Culinary French for People Who Can't Be BotheredCarvi: sliced. Coquetier: hotter, spicier. Pissalat: rinse thoroughly. Saumure: seconds.
[Part I.] [Part II.] 6.6.11Hurdy-GurdyThe hurdy-gurdy sounds stranger than it sounds.
