Thanks to Onegoodbumblebee, one of my favorite sites, I have discovered the best, most satisfying procrastination tool yet–sketchfu! It’s like an online etch-a-sketch in color. Some of the artists are really good. Some are funny. Some, like the one above, are just fun. And you can playback their (or your own) drawing, so that it’s like watching an animated film. Like those Woody Woodpecker cartoons where you would see the hand actually drawing Woody. Woody Woodpecker was a real pain in the ass, wasn’t he? I guess he still is. But I like him.


I like woodpeckers in general. First, they are big and clearly marked and easy to identify. Second, their little brains have internal helmets so they don’t get rattled and end up punch drunk like poor Mohammed Ali. I love Mohammed Ali. I met him at some gala dinner somewhere. It was thrilling. He was very polite and warm. People were so excited they were having trouble breathing.
