I’m so happy to sneak back in here between Brian’s blogs and twitters to introduce our little series of cartoons celebrating graduates and, well, anyone else who’s heading into the future. I reckon that’s most of us.

Graduates can be forgiven for thinking it’s all about them, what with all those diplomas and caps confusing the issue.

Well, the rest of us have been waiting a long time for them – not postponing any fun or adventure – no, no, no. Just waiting. Waiting for new members of the club, players at the table, voices in the choir, chefs in the kitchen, ideas and talents in the mix. New ingredients always make things interesting.

We call it change. It is THE best game on the planet. Of course, it can be scary, but it’s also invigorating and exciting and guaranteed to push open the borders of our minds (the very borders that’ll snap shut just as quickly, so we like to send the nimble young ‘uns in first. Ha!)

Welcome, graduates! Let’s start playing!!

And to start us off, one of my personal favorite stories: Air Juggling.
