I couldn’t make these guests up! Pg. 1/2
Sorry about the image quality here. My faithful scanner is busted and won’t do color, so I took digital photos. I’m posting this from LeHavre, France, in the cozy/funky “Black Cafe.” This cartoon is a couple weeks old, but I haven’t had the time or the bandwidth to post anything! We’re almost done with a […]
The Onboard Art Gallery
Yes, we have one. The art gallery tends to employ really cool people, so I’ve spent lots of time there, on various ships. And yes, I enjoy making fun of it a little.

There’s a reason for that: For the first time in months, the musicians’ outdoor sets are getting rained out, biking and volleyball plans […]
More Postcards

There’s always some little errand to do with scheduling the bands, or getting newbies on the payroll, or apologizing to a guest because the private piano in their deluxe stateroom is out of tune… On the other hand, it’s really cool to be […]
Just a little vent
This cartoon is in the just-for-myself sketchbook, but enough people commented on it that I decided to post it here. This is the entertainment office, where the cruise director, assistant cruise director, bandmaster, musicians and cruise staff are constantly in and out. I like the people, but the pace of being bandmaster has been an […]
