week 17 (47): burning

i remember once hearing a comedian, shortly after my return from my first trip to Humboldt, going on about the battle of the sexes.

one of his jokes was that the differences between the two were rather moot when you're engulfed in flames.

to which i had to agree.

the other joke that stood out was that having sex with a stranger was a lot like committing murder, in that afterwards you're stuck there, blindly groping on the ground, alone in the dark, wondering where the fuck are my shoes..
I'm paraphrasing of course its been what. thirteen years since i hear those jokes.

Like the framing, the quirk of the drawing - and thanks for the laugh.

Nice one Patrick! I like the feeking of panic just by his (or her) pose :o)

Yikes! This is powerful and distressing, and also makes your point, as the figure could be either male or female.
