storytelling

Once I had a collection of writing-related cartoons that made me happy. How I lost them isn't important, and there is some good news: Robyn has come to my rescue and she doesn't even know it. She sent me a link to the absolutely essential Philosophy Comix website, and on that page is a link to a repository of lost masterpieces, the Cartoonbank.com site. By plugging a few words into the advanced search screen I found my all time favorite cartoon by Tom Cheney. In case you can't read the caption:

This is going to be a tough fix. He’s completely obscured the main character’s plausible motive for revenge by overdeveloping the setting and peppering the entire chapter with irrelevant flashback narratives.

I'm ordering a print, and you can too, or a t-shirt, even.

The Infography

Professors, librarians, and other scholars recommend the best sources of information about their subjects of expertise. http://www.infography.com/

I'm pretty fussy about where I get my information, but this looks to be a very good resource. Here's an example of a search I did on the
history of Spanish West Florida. It brought up some promising works I haven't looked at yet.
