A Quiet Moment Gets an Extreme Makeover

I've ditched the blue and black header and replaced it with a custom design that incorporates doodles from the last six months. The doodles were created by me and many of my friends. If you are new to the blog you can find context for each of these characters in the archives (six pages). This blog is a repository for good and bad art created by me and people that I know. There is no quality control. You can send your submissions to aquietmoment@gmail.com.

News and Notes

The Distant Relatives With Beards contest continues to take shape. The final bracket will be available Monday, March 30th. 

The recent post about William Howard Taft getting stuck in the bathtub has taken the internet by storm! It's currently one of the highest ranked Google Image searches for "Taft in Tub", "Political Cartoons about Taft",and "Taft is a blue devil in the bathtub".   

I've removed the text from the original image so that scholars in the distant future can easily use it for documentary films and book reports. I make no claims to copyright, please use this as you wish.  

 

In more depressing news, the Google search results for Obama Inauguration Commemorative Coins are tanking. The internet market for those coins is hot and there are a lot of competitors on the 'net. The coins are still for sale! 

The loss of my Obama coin edge is being made up by the hundreds of depressed Scandinavian metal-heads who keep Googling "corpse drawings". The addition of Exquisite Corpse as a category on the site has been a huge boon. 

I'm going to be spending more time trying to get inconsequential terms ranked highly by Google. 

Please send art.

I like the new look.

I have contacted my aunt and hoping for some pictures of Otto Rasmussen soon or another distant relative.

I will propose the Taft in the bathtub as our elementary school mascot at staff meeting.

poor William Taft; everybody made so much fun of him,didn't they know he had feelings?
He looked so sweet, he didn't deserve to be so mistreated while in office. I think he was awesome!
