CAJ in TNY: update
Posted in CAJ in TNY on Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2010Forgot to post this cartoon, which appeared in the August 2, 2010 issue:
(That’s what I always think when they say the wedding vows!)
PS!! I have started a new website (as opposed to this blog) because my old one (carolita.org) is too hard to update, unfortunately, and gave me too many headaches and heartaches. My new website can be seen by clicking HERE.
Old news, but good news
Posted in NYC, etc. on Wednesday, Jul. 21, 2010I just realized I never put a link up to this article, written about me and my good man and fellow cartoonist Michael Crawford. I guess I just figured the New York Times was coverage enough! Anyway, here it is: Where Punchlines Pay The Rent. And no, there’s no audio of me playing the banjo badly! Phew!
Happy Father’s Day

CAJ in TNY: wedding season
Posted in CAJ in TNY on Monday, Jun. 7, 2010It’s June, which means wedding season. Here’s my cartoon from last week’s The New Yorker, on the subject of proposals.
At the Met: The Barber of Seville
Posted in art, literature & other distractions on Monday, Mar. 8, 2010Go see it, it was GREAT! Here’s some drawings I did in the dark from the seat that was so kindly given to me by a friend who couldn’t make it.

This is the blizzard view of the GW Bridge.

Ariadne auf Naxos
Posted in art, literature & other distractions on Friday, Feb. 5, 2010
Hey, lady, there’s three giant dames standing behind you trying to give you sound advice, but you’re feeling so sorry for yourself that you’re going to settle for Bacchus on the rebound.
But seriously, if you can make it to the Met for “Ariadne auf Naxos,” by all means go see it. It’s a beauty. And Kathleen Kim’s Zerbinetta gives a way better performance than Nina Stimm’s Ariadne. She’ll make you laugh, just like she promised, and Ariadne will put you to sleep a little (just like Zerbinetta promised, too). I very much disagree with the Times’ review, particularly on the subject of Kathleen Kim and Sarah Connolly, who as far as I could hear, both outshone Nina Stimm that night. I wonder if my ears aren’t cultivated enough anymore from not hearing enough opera lately to appreciate Stimm. And if so, I don’t see what’s wrong with it. Maybe opera singers should appeal to less cultivated ears a little more.
Postcard from New York: super-ephemeral snow
Posted in postcard from new york on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010It was gone by midday. It must have had a sell by date like the fresh organic chicken I ordered from Fresh Direct. The one that said sell by [the day I received it].
