There’s a great cartoon in

There’s a great cartoon in the current May 6 issue of The New Yorker (the one with the disturbingly erotic cover of two teenagers kissing). The cartoon, by Victoria Roberts, on page 116, shows a middle-aged couple with the wife standing over the husband, who is writing at a desk, saying to him: “Go do something, honey. Then you can write in your journal.”

Had he been in front of a computer with Blogger.com on the screen, I could really relate. Particularly when I read Peter Maass’s current blog posts from Karachi.

I can imagine another New Yorker cartoon featuring a haggard GenXer sitting on the sidewalk in front of a sign reading “Will Blog for Food.”
