A Writer and a Cartoonist Walk Into a Bar....

No, not really! I just wanted to get everyone's attention! The real story is that an idea came to me the other day about my life with The Ronald and I thought it would make a cute comic strip/cartoon. Since I can only draw stick people I asked my friend, Stephanie Piro, Cartoonist Extraordinaire, if she would draw a two-panel cartoon for me, and she said "Yes!" Below is our Piro & Povich collaboration. (You can click on the drawings to make them larger, too.)

I can't begin to tell you how much I admire Stephanie, or how talented she is, or what a great person she is, so please check out these different sites and you'll begin to see for yourself.




THANK YOU AGAIN, STEPHANIE, FOR DOING THIS WITH ME!

  1. Reading in bed is always a joy. Brilliant cartoon depiction of the changes that time can bring. I was grateful not to see the changes in gravity that occur in the same time frame.

  2. Things change over time, but the love of reading remains, although I wouldn't mind reading at a beach.

    There are writer submission opportunities on my blog if your readers are interested in getting published. YOU should submit, I know you have stories :)

  5. This is so cute and so true. Wait a few more years and you can add another panel...showing you waving to each other from separate rooms..aaah...bliss.
