I liked the drawing in a ‘New Yorker’ cartoon of this chap’s, Googled him, and lots of his other cartoons are funny too. Nice.

@alanconnor Yes. I loved the Bart t-shirt, and the “casket size” for some reason.

@revdancatt Likewise. It sounds like it’s all grinding of one kind or another, and no way to do it faster than anyone else.

@revdancatt Ha, folks in the office today were saying that stubbornness was all that’s required to win Tiny Tower too. Last one standing.

To prevent further concerned queries: I AM FINE. Note to self: Don’t allude to feeling peaky on Twitter or people will think the worst :)
