Those
of you who visit my blog regularly, know I like to dabble in drawing. My last
post was about painting, and how landscapes can become a type of escape,
especially during tough times.
Most fiction writers’ study human behavior or
psychology, so they can create or “paint with words,” characters with realistic
qualities. Right now, all you have to do is turn on the television, where the
evening news is filled with colorful protesters who shout about peace, while
carrying firearms. Oddly, if I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t believe it and novel
readers wouldn’t find it believable either.
Mark Twain said:
“Truth
Is Stranger than Fiction, But It Is Because Fiction Is Obliged to Stick to
Possibilities; Truth Isn’t.”
I’m
sure you’ll agree these are unusual times, and the fact that everyone has a
different emotion, inspired my original cartoon.
Will someone have the last laugh?
What about you?

Some of us are crying AND laughing.

You're right, real life is stranger right now than anything we could've imagined. Let's hope for a little more love.
