Today’s Daily Sketch, Which By Its Nature, Happens Every Day

Today’s Daily Sketch is a study in post-modern minimalism. Which to you Philistines* unstudied in the nuances of Great Art means, “no sketch”. Oh, there will be a sketch, just not yet. Later today…like late afternoon. But, this exercise in minimalism allows you the opportunity to envision the sketch yet to be. This is to your advantage because whatever you see in your head will be far better than the one produced this afternoon, so hold onto that vision. I think William Blake said that.

*Philistines are the original “Phils” which explains their demise in the annals of history. By the way, a little aside, when I first typed the previous line I said, “anals of history” which was funnier. Spell Check thought that’s what I meant to say… it knows me better than I thought.

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
