In my comments here, I originally joked that this guy was probably in a hurry to get to his job as a marriage counselor. But–what do I know?
I’ve been bombarded by e-mails and Facebook comments that this man is obviously Captain James T. Kirk and that he’s rushing back to the starship Enterprise.
So I wrote a Star Trek joke–without realizing it? Okay. The guy does kinda look like Kirk. But–oh, uh, last night when I first posted this was William Shatner’s 80’s birthday?
Okay. I bow to the obvious. I’m more brilliant than I thought. This is a Star Trek joke!

So there I was at Denny’s with a bunch of friends after a Cartoonists Northwest meeting. And–while clogging our arteries—some of us are joking around. Now, not all cartoonists are funny in person.
(I’m only intermittently funny at best—and even then you have to buy me dinner to get a decent joke.)
But my pal Moira McDonough (creator of the graphic novel Venus Penvy) is genuinely witty in “real life.” Still, I was taken off guard when she quipped about “a marriage of mass destruction.”
I loved the line. I hope you do too. Thanks, Moira!

In the age of Google, does anyone still go on “blind” dates?
All it takes is a quick web search and—behold! Your “mystery date” is no longer a mystery. You know exactly what your perfect date looks like. Right now.
Or is it 20 years ago?
Hey! Has that been Photoshopped?
