An A for Effort
I am no artist. Even my doodles are low quality. The only people who think they are worth anything are my sons, age 3 years and 18 months.
The other day, the eldest asked me to sit on the couch next to him. He then handed me his Magna-Doodle and said, "Draw Rex." He was referring to the character Rex from Toy Story, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. My drawing of Rex looked more like a sick pigeon than a T-Rex

What We Have Here Is... Failure To Communicate
Rarely has anything so simple become so complicated. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I was wrapping up my week's vacation with a day of complete inactivity. (How that makes it different than just about any other day is anyone's guess.)

The Adventures of Faith Man
Batman and Bruce Wayne - The Incredible Hulk and Dr. Bruce Banner - and lately, Iron Man and Tony Stark. Two definitive sides of the same person. The one can do battle with the forces of evil and come out on top every time. The other, without the benefit of their superhuman powers, would be just another victim on the villain's path to world domination.
