I’ve been in Austin almost 48 hours and I must admit I could get mighty comfortable here. The Ann Richards Bridge, the F@!*k Rick Perry graffiti, the greenery growing in between the high-rises, the Tex Mex, Cuban, and various food trucks along South Congress who...

Writers are observers. Each writer communicates what he or she observes in this world. It spans from the memoirs of historic events to the glimpses of future possibilities. Writers communicate with their audiences about what they see, hear and even imagine.

Funny is in the eye of the beholder.
Schandenfreude means to enjoy fun in the pain of others.

One of the most popular but least talked about media phenomena probably stares you in the face each morning as you sip you latte and fumble a piece of crumb cake inward: the comics.
