In Silly Valley, gonzo is where you find it.

Notes for a cartoon I'll probably never draw:

INTERIOR: OFFICE BUILDING, shown by painfully straight (ruler edge) fine pencil lines, except for wavy, distorted, spindly ART on the impeccable walls, and an expensively BUBBLY GLASS WINDOW, through which the figure of a LOUNGING MAN is visible inside an office. He wears a FISHERMAN'S HAT, SHORTS, MIRRORED SUNGLASSES, and smokes an ostentatiously expensive ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE.

Two MINOR FLUNKIES rush past, haste evident in every line of their CHEAP CLOTHING. They carry CLIPBOARDS and wear NAME BADGES.

Caption:

"WE CAN'T STOP HERE. THIS IS CEO COUNTRY."


Why is this in my head? Because I made oblique reference to it in an email today, and ideas like that don't like to leave until something's been done about them, and I'm not sure I see myself sitting down to get the art right any time this month. (I've been neglecting my art, alas...)

Or, driving down Sand Hill Road, "We can't stop here. This is VC country."

(I once claimed that my autobiography would be titled _Walking Down Sand Hill Road with a Bag of Dildos_.)

That is an amazing title.

I misspoke; it was actually _Walking Down Sand Hill Road with a Bag of Vibrators_. I had decided it was best to live my life so as to make my autobiography title accurate, as opposed to the other way around.
