Oil Spill Super Cleanup: Part 1   June 03, 2010 OK...the disaster that is the growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico just continues to get worse. I think it's time the president called in the big guns. Let's ponder his options. We'll start at the top and work our way down. I think it's pretty much a given that Superman could handle it. Extreme pressure of the ocean, over a mile below the surface? No problem. Crush the leaking pipe with his hands, weld a piece in with heat vision, easy. And what of the enormous amount of oil that's already spilled into the Gulf? I'm sure he's got a superpower or two that would make the biggest batch of super-lemonade from this bunch of oily lemons that our past greed has handed us. Sure, there might be a few more banks robbed during the half hour that Superman's fixing everything, but that's what the FDIC is there for, right? Oh crap... Subsequent days will consider some of the president's other superhero-oriented options. Quick pencil sketch and a scan.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
