Something I learned from the Enchiridion, in case you haven't read it yet:
The things you can control are opinion, pursuit, desire, and aversion!
Basically, I can't control the functions that produced this drawing. It's beyond my control. The only thing I can control is my expectations and reactions to it!
And when I look at this picture,
I see someone who isn't afraid to lay his cards on the table. Even if, instead of cards, he just has a pile of ham-cubes in his hands.
I see a guy who went on a run today and with about two miles left, he really needed a pit stop! He had to release some intestinal pressure. But he struggled, and clenched, and ran stooped over like a 90 year old man until he made it to the end of the run!
He's got heart, is what I'm saying. And, you know, you only get compliments like that when what you're doing doesn't look pretty but you're dealing with it anyway. And that's noble.
That Blob-man and that Platypus Zeppelin, they've had enough of the Scratchy Line city. They're on a journey to the untamed wilderness. The land of the Exploding Geysers and the Clocks that don't make sense.
They're moving right. That's the important thing. Because on a standard graph or number line, the positive numbers move in the right direction. And they're moving to the right. It's math.
This...this is one of those drawings where--when Internet archaeologists discover it in the Blogger Ruins thousands of years from now, they're going to recreate our entire culture with the clues embedded in this sketch. They're gonna know that we knew how great number lines are. They're gonna know about our struggles with urbanization and our yearning for concentric semi-circles in the sky.

Haha I love that idea of what people thousands of years from now would think of drawings like this, and what they would take from it. I like that idea for thinking about my doodles, and how mysterious and insane it would all seem, especially if that was pretty much all that was left. It makes drawings like this even more awesome.
Haha and in the mention of my doodles, your random doodles and drawings are always infinitely better than the best drawing I could ever create no matter how long I worked on it, I'm always really impressed by your drawings.
