Wow, Avi! As I’m just waking up on the West Coast what I saw were two icebergs dog paddling; struggling valiantly not to melt and lose their personhood due to climate change. (Existential?) But then I read on and saw myself and got scared there’s someone else who KNOWS. YIKES. It’s beyond me, your particular genius for interior landscapes, but truly you continue to amaze. Sometimes I just want to hug you. Except then I’d have a panic attack and so, most likely, would you! So instead I’ll just give your cat a treat.

Aww thanks I look like a genius but the bottom of the iceberg is a lotta bad cartoons

Ah…and this sentiment could be another one of your iceberg cartoons!

Edison famously declared: “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” By those standards, still genius!

I love your cartoons. Mine today is Smiling/Slept three hours in a cheap hotel. Truly, one never knows what is going on underneath.

Is it better to sleep less or more in a cheap hotel?

Ha, definitely more so you have less time to contemplate why you’re in a cheap hotel :)

Love it!

Mine could be talking with confidence and looking like you got this and underneath is basically imposter syndrome and self doubt. But i dont know if this is keeping the confidence afloat or you feel like you need to hide vulnerable parts.

That last one! Except it's my wife, not my cats. I haven't slept until 9:00 am since I got married. Is my life better? Yes. Do I miss staying up until 1:00 am? Also yes.

OK this was thought provoking. Didn’t realise how many of these icebergs I’ve been on
