When life throws you a curveball, catch it with a taco! Stressed about work? A taco's crunchy shell is like a delicious stress ball. Relationship woes? Share a taco, and watch the love rekindle—because who can argue over a perfect blend of meat, cheese, and salsa? Feeling under the weather? A spicy taco clears the sinuses and lifts the spirit. Need to make a tough decision? Tacos offer clarity with each bite. Whether it's a celebration or a crisis, a taco (or two) brings joy, comfort, and a tasty solution to life's dilemmas. Remember, with tacos, every problem is nacho problem! 🌮
Where is the Sun?
The East Coast went from heatwaves to Fall in a blink of an eye. It’s been rainy, damp and cold and in Philly, we haven’t seen the sun since late last week. Reward for any sightings.

‘Phillydelphia’ | Daily Drawing #540
One of the lawyers in the impeachment trial said they should come to his office in ‘Phillydelphia’.
I’ve lived in Philly my entire life and never heard it pronounced this way.
The Mountains Are Calling (Again)
The original drawing of this phrase goes way back to the early days of my Daily Drawing series. Recently someone reached out to me to ask about getting the lettering done as a vinyl transfer, and once I looked at the original drawing I couldn’t resist redoing the piece.

The Weekend at the College Didn’t Turn Out Like You Planned
I was never (ever) a Steely Dan fan, but I always thought this was a kickass lyric.
Also, I may or may not have had some bad ‘weekends at the college’.

Loud, Fast and Sloppy
‘Loud, Fast & Sloppy’ | Daily Drawing 447.
I’m still having a tough time with this one. During the weekend I found myself reading old articles and watching clips of Anthony. I’d get bummed out and try and forget about it, then I’d see but yet another picture or a link and go, “Oh, fuck.”
This quote from from an run-and-gun style promo he shot for what I’m guessing is an early season of ‘No Reservations’. It’s classic Bourdain: punk rock t-shirt, round sunglasses, standing from of CBGBs. (search Anthony Bourdain “CBGB’s” on Vimeo for the clip.)
