As a father, husband, someone that can tie a square knot I often say the wrong things. Stress, pain, weariness, bewilderment, anger, frustration can kick you in the vocal cords even as you speak. When firing on eight cylinders words can be wise, interesting, they might, given some luck, make sense to a three-year-old -- you could even make your wife happy (I should probably revise this statement). Words are an inexact science, and can, more than the talker might like, lead to failure. Writing and cartoons use a delivery system a little more precise because there is time to correct for over-steering. Below is a cartoon about a changing world and the fears this world can instill. The afflictions confronting the Bill of Rights in the toon are debatable in size and scope, though realities like electronic harassment are well-defined (illegal in Maine, Mass., and Michigan) and are sinister and deadly, capable of invisible torture, psychological trauma, murder.

Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website. All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits were vetted, investigated, though the summer of 2018. The vetting lapsed in some cases afterwards or until the last blog on May, 31, 2021.
Kevin O'Kendley: [email protected]. Technical help was provided by a computer genius, my son, Conor O'Kendley. Photography was provided by a visual artist, my daughter, Caitlin O'Kendley. If your nonprofit is advertised on this site and you wish to have it removed please contact me at the above listed email address or use the contact form on the website. If you download a blog, cartoon, a short story -- or for any other reason -- and wish to donate $ to this site, its author and technical support personnel, please send donations payable to Kevin O'Kendley, 499 Broadway #138, Bangor, Maine 04401. My family and I could use the dinero. All cartoons, blogs, and short stories are for sale. Categories |
