I believe that I understand that things are perceived as better when the bad element is excluded from the mix. I don’t like peppers so leaving them out of the recipe is a good thing for me… So why is it that I get upset when I see people getting excluded from public events?

Is it because people want to feel a sense of belonging and denying that would somehow be cruel? Am I the only one that remembers that feeling of being rejected? Or is it that I disagree with the rubric being used to determine who is accepted and who is excluded?

A big THANK YOU to my patrons for inspiring me to get off my lazy bum and drawing eight Cigarro & Cerveja comics in 2014. That doesn’t sound like much but it’s a bunch more than I was drawing the previous year.

Thank you again and Happy New Year!
