Submission: lord of death
This from Noelle, who says, “Sometimes I’ll doodle something that I just inherently like exactly as it is. This is one of those things.”

Submission: a curmudgeon yearns
Bret says, “This is something I scrawled while working in the public library one afternoon, absently watching the action at the Information Desk.”
Informant sits with scowling lips.
His beard is trimmed and grey.
His Ph.D. in history’s

to aimless listless AIMing teens.He dreams of days Athena ruled,
erudition all the rage.
Back when students begged for school…
He stops and sighs and turns the page.
