I think Paul Simon said it "Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard (journal)"

Thanks for not drawing me.

Jay rules!

Damn, nicely done Jay Jansheski. This is a mighty piece of good work here.

if you are saying these are things you've seen in Seattle, i'm 99% sure it wasn't a stork. storks don't live here.

but cool, other than that. the illustrations are awesome!

@2 hysteria is funny,
Doing Tai Chi on the other hand is too amazingly cool and difficult,
much easier to be voyeur and write about it

i like this new guy too, if he could draw in his notebook while faking the Tai Chi movements in a group of elderly practitioners, i would like it more. eh, easy hysteria. i have to learn to accept it.

Good stuff.

This read was a fun way to start my morning. Thanks!
10
I'd rather read a hundred of these than another post about how America doesn't have good croissants.
11
Seconded what 10 said. Zombie killing Tai Chi lady made my morning!
12
I've been missing Jansheski's excellent blog "Clouds," available on his author archive. I'll never forget the beginning to his post "it was bob," illustrated with a picture of Bob from Twin Peaks: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit." Good stuff!

I've also seen Sigmund Freud in Fremont.

Fun read. I've been bike commuting into the city from Bainbridge for two years and, aside from No. 1, I haven't seen any of that stuff. I did see a road-killed deer by the side of the highway. That was sad and gross.

I think I actually saw a real wolve on the Soos Creek trail while bicycling. And several deer going around the Lake Youngs trail...
17
Good job.. All those draws for a slog post?
18
you said you saw a stork and included a picture of a heron. you didn't see a stork.
19
Love the post.

Note to Stranger: please keep him.
20
Awesome, dude!
21
Jay...
22
@16--you didn't see a wolf. There are no wolves here outside of the zoo. You almost certainly saw a coyote.
23
Keep it coming - I'm digging this.
24
This is lovely! I would read your stories every day!
25
If you were cycling in Seattle, you didn't see a stork. If you were cycling in Europe, then very possibly.

My guess is you saw a heron, and mistook it for a stork.
26
Who is this dude? This dude is awesome.
27
The other day I saw a dead rat, with a perfectly limned bicycle tire track across its back, in the middle of a bike trail. It was both disgusting and funny. I suppose the cyclist does not have an "I brake for small animals" bumper sticker on his bike.
28
I'm piling on to approve of this post.
29
Why is this on Slog and not in the paper? This is some feature quality stuff right here.
30
Agreed- seriously awesome post.
31
this rocks! thanks!
32
I think this is my most favorite slog post ever.

One time on Harvard under the Ship Canal Bridge I saw two crows mourning a third dead crow. In California one time I stopped to pee on the side of the highway at 2 a.m. For some reason, before I peed, I turned on my light and saw that I was about to pee on the dessicated carcass of a huge deer. Every day on my way home from work I would stop and look at the deer; several days later its skull disappeared. I've seen two bears while out cyclotouring.

at #6.
That drawing is obviously a Blue Heron and we do have them here, We also have Green Herons. They can sometimes be seen around Foster & Marsh Islands in Northern part of the Arboretum, and across Union Bay in the Union Bay Natural Area.
So now you know.
34
If you keep going about 100 yards, you are actually riding between two cemeteries. GAR (Civil War vets) to the north, Lakeview Cemetery (Seattle pioneers and Bruce and Brandon Lee) to the south.
35
so random
36
#1: also nutria.
37
really liked this. am not from Seattle, but I do bike to work. And am particularly accident prone. So I enjoyed #5 "on his face."
38
33
uh, you prove my point. yes it IS a heron, isn't it? but can you read?
39
Nice post!
40
A lovely post. I hope to see more. Also, I pedal away from zombies all the time.
41
this guy has been my mother's favorite for years.
42
This slog makes me want to move to Seattle. He'd better syndicate. Or at least do a 30-city tour with his bike and sketch pad.
43
What do we want?

MORE JAY JANSHESKI!!!!!!

When do we want it?

PREFERABLY IN THE MORNING RIGHT AFTER I MAKE MY COFFEE AND HAVE A FEW MINUTES TO READ BEFORE WALKING THE DOG!!!
44
I heard Jansheski disappeared shortly after the zombie sighting. I can't believe this article had anything to do with it, but the question is out there. Nobody really seems to know.

Please wait...
