today would have been warren oates' 81st birthday. we at bluster celebrated with a warren double feature with "Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia" and "two-lane Black top" and the coolest cake of all time. which is above^
Dear God,
I want to be like you when I grow up. I’ll turn my big brother into an ant and then step on him. Ha ha.
Kenny from Pinos Altos, New Mexico
Dear Kenny,
You’ve certainly absorbed the essence of what it means to be God, but I think you should consider a more appropriate role model. No offense, kid, but we’re cut from different cloth. You have the stuff of which Junior College dropouts are made, whereas I contain infinities.

Dear God,
Is it true that we “reap what we sow,” or is that just some old wife’s tale?
Ronald from Augusta, Missouri
Dear Ronald,
If life were only that simple. Crib death, hurricanes, drunk drivers...unfortunately, most people don’t get what they deserve, they get what they get.
Look at the Native Americans. They were some of the finest peoples ever to roam the Earth, and the early colonial settlers stole their land, slaughtered them like chickens, and obliterated their culture before they could say “Geronimo.” If there was any real earthly justice, the Indians would’ve overtaken the cavalry and stuffed Manifest Destiny up the white man’s ass like an unlubricated totem pole.

Dear God,
Is it true that the U.S. government secretly commissioned a group of scientists to create the AIDS virus?
“Cass” from Molokai
Dear Cass,
All the conspiracy theories are true. NASA faked the moon landing, Oswald was a patsy, the Jews control the media, and the Pillsbury Doughboy and Fruit Pie the Magician murdered Little Debbie the night before she planned to “out” them on Larry King Live.

Dear God,
What’s “Holy Water”?
Susan from Williston, ND
Dear Susan,
It’s tap water “blessed” by some gullible, sexually-ambiguous mama’s boy who couldn’t pick a major. Listen--- water is hot, it’s cold, it’s lukewarm, it’s diluted, it’s distilled, but it’s never Holy.
You clucks would believe anything. If some dunce on TV with a nice haircut told you it would add ten years to your life, you’d all run to the local supermarket to buy “shit on a stick.”

Dear God,
I wanna bike for my birthday. I’m gonna be 8 years old and I think you know wear I live. OK?
Kaylee from Newport, New Hampshire
Dear Kaylee,
I’m not your personal vending machine. I don’t know what your folks have been telling you, but My policy is to help those who help themselves. So stop whining like Little Orphan Annie and get a fuckin’ paper route!

me (Joel) and dax went into the city this weekend and picked up some artist sketch cards, so I've been knocking these Forever winter cards out ever since. from top to bottom Kry, Noah and sagegasa. All of these were inked with copic multiliners and colored with prismacolor markers for anyone who cares to know.
