i know, i know—i should not be supporting people who are one step above tucker max in their bombastic masculinity. but dammit if this book didn’t make me laugh out loud on a number of occasions.

yes, it is almost too easy—take children’s drawings (some of whom are only 5 years old) and criticize their treatment of perspective, spelling, logical absurdity, etc. but it is also very, very funny—if the person doing the critiques is themselves funny. and all other shit aside, this man can make me laugh.

if i had kids, or more to the point, if greg had kids, i would be talking shit about his kids’ drawings all day long. and he would probably, too. he wouldn’t want to, but one thing i know about greg is that he is deeply jealous of all the positive reinforcement kids get for doing things that are easy, like when they poop in the toilet or whatever. so i think he would be on board with this.

i don’t actually own this, so i can’t go all attaching pictures or whatnot, but i just wanted to put it out there, during this holiday season, that this would be a nice gift for people with young children who draw poorly. but make sure they have a sense of humor before you start stuffing it into their stocking.

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
