It's a good thing the coins go in the top not the rear!

Mark has been creating comics for a long time now. The artist shared that he initially distributed them in local newspapers on a weekly basis, but they have since gained nationwide recognition, being featured in daily papers and national greeting card lines.

    We will never admit to getting into the acrylics. No, that's not paint on Audi's tail.

    Mark shared that he has dabbled in various forms of art, but deep down, he has always recognized himself as a cartoonist. His passion lies in the fusion of words and drawings to craft humorous narratives. "My goal is always to get a laugh or at least a smile. I'm not sure I would even draw at all if I couldn't use humor."

    Officially, it's strictly an adjective. The term is "Lego bricks." Lego is probably afraid they'll lose control of the word, like Jell-o, Xerox, Jacuzzi, Jet Ski, Walk-Man, Kodak and in some regions of the U.S., Coke. As such, it seems silly to assert that the noun is irregular, although I understand that Britain uses "Lego" as a collective noun, like "sand."

    Cats are pretty much universally farsighted. They can pinpoint distant objects easily, but close objects are out of focus. They tend to find close food by scent.

    Maybe the Easter Bunny vacationed in the U.K. earlier that year. The British National Health Service spends an average of 350000£ (442367$) per year hospitalizing people who need treatment after having put objects up their butts. Yes, really. ‘The Great British Back-off”, I call it. 😆😂
