It’s not a cannoli. No one eat it. Seriously.

I overheard some friends at my house one night saying: “Her tree looks more real than ours.” Why was this innocent remark, even compliment, so upsetting? Why did it keep me awake that night?

It’s May, and artists all over the world have been celebrating by drawing mermaids! Lots and lots of mermaids! So I decided to join the festivities and draw some mermaids of my own. I mean, Annie essentially has Ariel’s color scheme, so it wasn’t much of a stretch to add a tail.

Welcome to Dry Clean City. Unlike other dry cleaners you may have used in the past, we don’t just clean your clothes at a low price in a bland, convenient location staffed by grumpy part-timers who wouldn’t know customer service if it jumped out, cuffed them, and read them their Miranda rights. No, we aim to be a true dry clean city, a polis whose entire existence is derived from and organized around the ancient and celebrated history, theory, and practice of dry cleaning.

There’s nothing like a good circumcision to make a man feel truly special.
