The last several weeks I have been going out early on Saturday mornings, riding my bike on the Salt Creek Bike Trail.
I took my camera this Saturday.
Or maybe not. I dunno.
Oh, this is a 60 second doodle post, by the way.
First commenter with a doodle idea gets that idea doodled.
UPDATE!
For Randal G: “Biden catching the shell from Palin’s moose-killing shotgun with a hair plug.”

Every participant has one or more songs that I am unfamiliar with, so this will be a righteous injection of power pop for me. I hope it will be the same for you, too.
There are also plenty songs that I know and are very happy to see included (hello, “Ca Plane Pour Moi”)!
I’m pretty confident each person is going to have to provide at least some of their selections to me — just have ’em ready to go, if’n you don’t mind.
UPDATE:
Not wishing to risk angering the mix tape gods, Beth has been added to the mix. Hey, she’s a big star in the world of mix tapes, and I am happy to have her participation!
To all parties who expressed interest in participating in my comix week, I’ll get my ideas to you by October 10th.
You are under no obligation to do the idea I give you, nor are you under any obligation to participate.
If anyone else wants to jump on board that hasn’t already expressed a desire to join the project, it’s still not too late.
Hopefully I can get at least a few people interested, and together we can create some special pieces of artful goodness to brighten the world.
AND ISN’T THAT WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT, PEOPLE?
Since time might be tight for everyone, I’m going to bump comix week a month into the future, to the first week of December.
Go Comix Week!
