Best way to shut me up is to draw the perfect cartoon. Too Much Coffee Man has done just that. Fortunately, the effect is temporary. Matt Golding usually ends up in political cartoon postings, but this one is purely social, and let’s note that obnoxious people with leaf blowers are blowing leaves Down Under. Up […]
