Sure, it’s been a while. Congratulations to MikeWJ on completing his thesis, to Ziva for finally putting her pussy on view, and to all the other bloggers I used to keep in touch with but have sorely neglected of late.
I’ve uploaded the Sunday Comic series to a web comic hosting site, and also started a new comic, “Avia,” about a teenage girl whose mother talks to spirit guides.
I’m still not back to regular posting, but here’s my latest editorial for The Standard. As usual, I’m only putting the first paragraph here with a link to the Standard site in the hopes that it will look like people are reading me.
I’d called it “Democracy Works Because We’re Stupid,” but they changed the title on me.
Again.

Life goes on in a stumbling civilization
Democracy flourishes because it is founded upon an unshakable and universal truth: “Everybody is stupid.” Regardless of age, sex, religion, political affiliation, or country of birth, the stupidity of those around us is the one thing we can all agree on. [More.]

And I think our voice told Jack Layton it was time to change his underwear. Good to see you back, sort of. Hope we see more of you soon.

Judging by the age of the new MPs in Quebec, Layton may be having to change diapers.

Happy to see you are back. You were missed..
Funny you should select “Pratt”. This is almost equivalent to Smith or Jones in the Bahamas.
The content is also very fitting of the Bahamian Pratts.

Interesting. I didn’t know that about the name. Shouldn’t be surprised, though. Pratts are universal.

Good article – I think you nailed it about the elections.
Prattling on …
“Avia” is quite interesting and humourous. I’ll be visiting as often as you post a comic. Heh, heh.
Glad to see you are sort of back.
P.S. remove the space before “central” for your e-mail address at the footer of your post(s) on The Standard site. Unless, of course, it was intentional.

That space was put there by the paper, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Avia is actually based on a woman I met online whose mother talked to spirit guides. That’s really all I know about her, but it created a bit of a spark in my almost completely benumbed mind.

Thank you, Frank! Putting my pussy on display was a real challenge, but I’m happy I did it. And congrats to you on yet another great article. You’ve made me realize that I’m not only a stupid Finn, but I’m proud of it as well.

Stupidity is our human heritage. We should all embrace it.
