I have found a fractured mind helps
I tend to look at things from several directions
Sometimes leaning on Gary Larson's Far Side masterpieces for inspiration
But mostly draw on some fun I had back in the '90s, on a now defunct site called Motifake
A bunch of really talented twenty somethings that let me play with them
The Caption This thread was the favorite of all
Pam's sweet opportunities send me back to those days
Larson is great. As was Schultz, and is Piraro, Peters, and Watterson!
Working with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia really broadened my horizons into, with all due respect, insane humor. Their perception of reality was sometimes hilariously skewed, and, at times caused me to laugh 'til I cried.
I could go on and on until the cows come home, but won't.
