Comments on: Welcome, David Cohen! http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2009/12/20/welcome-david-cohen/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: barry http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2009/12/20/welcome-david-cohen/comment-page-1/#comment-37426 barry Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:13:05 +0000 http://scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=10274#comment-37426 David - I wasn't suggesting that you change the cartoon. I know what a pain that is, having once been mired in 12th century technology myself. It's not worth the trouble to slaughter a goat & render his guts down to a smooth paste with which to form a crude eraser. Don't give it another thought.

You can also maintain a group of Gravatars, so when you change which one is displayed, that change ripples throughout the whole innerweb (it may take a few minutes, the innerweb is pretty big). How’s that, Blog Boy? ;)

I had no idea. Gravatar won't recognize my Wordpress password, so it may be a little while before I can use it. Michael,

What's up with all these faceless avatars? Are you all a bunch of pantywaists? Afraid we might recognize you around town or something? For those of you who might not know, you can make those dumb little avatars into real mugshots by visiting <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/" rel="nofollow">http://en.gravatar.com/</a> and uploading a pic. Then, every blog on which you post that's gravatar-compatible (most of them) will feature your pretty little face. You already do it for Twitter and Facebook, why not for us? It's fun. It's fast. And it's free. Oh --- the photographer in me recommends a zoomed-in, tight crop --- easier to make out when they're real small, like here at ScruHoo. David makes a good point here.

I've been a faithful reader of Scrutiny Hooligans for over a year, and it has been a valuable resource when I'm looking for phrases or opinions that might trigger an idea for a cartoon. While my main gig is the Citizen-Times, there will be times when I've drawn something that won't be quite appropriate for them. That's fine; that's what editors are for. Jim Buchanan has probably saved me from some grief that would have hit me broadside if he had run one of those. But Michael and Gordon have said to damn the torpedoes, and so I will. "Damn, you torpedoes!" This site, and my own, will be where those inappropriate salvoes will show up. Looking forward to it!
