Most people would agree that Joy is a good thing, and may even have an idea of how to obtain it. Visions of abundant money, time, friends, family or even walking on some quite beach in the tropics come to mind when we think about joy. Not many of us however, would think of [...]

Those of you who know me, know I am somewhat of an amateur cartoonist. I have RSS'd several "underground" cartoonists. One of my faves is David Malki. His strip, called "Wondermark" has sharp wit and sometimes bizarre thoughts and drawings… to say the least. Take a look at this one:
