Ian draws this time

Ian grabbed the tablet and wanted to draw something. We often do an improv thing where one person gives a suggestion (normally a cross between two things) and the other person performs. This time I suggested Ian draw an Emo Worm. The big thing at the high schools is to be a sad, punky, gothy, hyper-dramatic "Emo." Please note that this has nothing to do with goony comic Emo Phillips. Scroll down to the bottom for more on that. Well done on the worm I think.


My guess was Bart Simpson's head after a fight with Nelson the bully. Ian would not divulge the true answer.


Apparently, Ian's take is that even though dogs don't know what the heck we're saying, they would like a chance to say it too.


Ian's depiction of Gracie talking to the TV while her favorite show, Little Einsteins is on. It's funny that in that show, the kids are always telling the viewers to put their hands over their heads, but the Little Einsteins' heads are so big that they can't reach over their own heads. Anyway, every so often some character in the show asks a question to get the audience to be interactive. Gracie was interacting with Quincy. Yeah, I think Ian spelled it wrong.



And here's a picture I drew of Ian, just so you know what he looks like.

If you don't know what Emo is, or if you'd like to laugh at society's attempts on explaining it (kind of like explaining why you like Apple Jacks) the Wikipedia entry defines it thusly:

Emo is a somewhat ambiguous, controversial slang term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture. It is loosely defined, and its meaning varies by region, but most definitions share a number of similarities.

Meanwhile, thanks Ian, for contributing your scribbles.
