NOTICE
Sorry, Nonsense of Stilts has ceased publication probably forever.
Welcome to Nonsense on Stilts, where our motto is "Better dead than red." It has absolutely nothing to do with what this site is all about, but it's a great motto anyway.
Here's how it breaks down. We've got Nonsense on Stilts, my semimonthly humor column. It's updated the first and third Thursday of each month.

I've decided to stop doing weekly cartoons. Eventually, I'll get around to deleting the ones that aren't mine. Sorry.
