I've always thought Ms. Anderson was on her game when she was making public service announcements like these. And considering all the happy times we've been having in politics lately, this one seems alarmingly true.
After making this one - which sort of cracked me up in the stupid/happy department - I decided it would be time to make a few more and give em up, which is exactly what I did. They say here in L.A. - probably a thousand times a minute - that if nobody's watching your show, you gotta stop producing the show. I spend more time on my bike now. Could be worse.
Have a great Sunday. Enjoy yourselves! I'll be back tomorrow with new schtuff. - mag
Looks like Lance Armstrong didn't race in today's Milan-San Remo, which was won brilliantly by the great Oscar Friere. Lance apparently has gastroenteritis (he has the shits or the pukes or both) and couldn't leave the bathroom long enough to reach to the starting line. Anyway, I'm reposting this in honor of Lance's 'condition.' I had fun making this cartoon - whenever it was - and it proves why the xtranormals about cycling where two skinny guys talk about bike parts and sprints to the town line are much more popular than the ones I made! Have a great Saturday - mag
I'm a writer, teacher, cyclist, and a musician who doesn't practice very much, which means I'm only a pretend musician. Melville once wrote, "Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt." That's my motto, I guess.
My books include two novels, The Right Man for the Job (1997) and The Fire Gospels (1998), and two memoirs: Lummox: The Evolution of a Man (2002) and Heft on Wheels: A Field Guide to Doing a 180 (2004). In May of 2012, Rodale Press will release Bike Tribes: A Field Guide to North American Cyclists, with illustrations by Danica Novgorodoff. My short fiction and essays have appeared in Best American Sports Writing 2010, Esquire, GQ, Men's Health, and other magazines, and I have been a contributing writer with Bicycling magazine for a long, long time.
