It’s hard to believe that September is already finished. With October just a day away Halloween will be upon us in no time. Such as every year I have put off crafting that “make your mama cry” costume that I come up with one week out from Halloween, so if I do attend any parties or the like it will probably be as the fat bastard I always am

Today’s comic is sort of a lash out at some of my clients as of late. Two things I firmly believe that most people have no concept of is time and simplicity. Simplicity is extremely relative and it usually coincides with the concept of time. In other words, it may be simple to the client to just have a picture of a circus tent surrounded by balloons, carnival rides and circus animals while in the tent are kids eating carnival food and playing gleefully with this entire scene made cohesive with an elegant, yet circus-like, font and border arrangement reminiscent of the 40’s era circus trains. But to do it in two days, created-proofed-printed, is where the rub is. Again, no concept of time or his big sister simplicity.
