It’s not that this has never happened before, but it’s certainly rare for me to be so far ahead in Clerk Manifesto that, by the time I get around to posting something, it’s already outdated and irrelevant. Yet here we are. Today, I had to swoop in and delete a blog post I wrote just a week or two ago—a post where I wryly observed how Clerk Manifesto seemed to have become little more than a daily cartoon of me.
At the time, that felt perfectly on point. But now, surrounded by endless floral extravaganzas and frantic content stuffed into every available corner of Clerk Manifesto, that old post just looked… silly. And so, with a touch of regret, I’ve removed it and replaced it with—well, this.
The cartoon itself, mercifully, survives unchanged. Strangely, it fit better with the original commentary and now feels like it needs no introduction at all. But honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to delete both things. That’s just too much erasure for one day.
So how about this: pretend you didn’t read any of this. Start fresh. Scroll down. Enjoy the cartoon.
Thank you.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
