- I love this cartoon.
I didn't cried watching though.
Machos like me never cry, we wash our eyes with wet honor.


If that's the case, I might be the most honorable dude here.

p.s. "Up" was and is amazing!!!

Reminds me of mad magazine
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

His join date was a while ago... but I had to re-post because dude made a book of his illustrations and is sending them out to all the fighters. Getting plugs on lots of big MMA shows etc

I'm really proud/happy for him... in the interview he says he did commercial illustration just like me but got sick of it and decided to push the art that made him happy - and it WORKED!!!

I am a little behind him but am in a similar crossroads. I find his story very inspiring, more people should try to make the leap. I wonder if he's got kids etc, how gradually or suddenly he made the change

Nice guy but he's naive in the way the world really works. We had a tiff on twitter a few tears ago about Bradley Manning & the Collateral Murder video & American fascism. Love his art though.

^ Interesting

Some people are just not informed enough, they can't understand. Not their fault, we're trained to avoid these thoughts

Well there comes a point where we can choose to turn a blind eye, or close our ears/minds. Some people just refuse to consider ideas that shake their TV world view. This I find worthy of some disrespect...

But its hard to know how much a given person has been exposed to, or how much programming they get everyday at face value
