Ink Blots Cartoons

More than just the funnies.

Sometimes a Banana is Just a Banana

A cartoon about longing, desire, and plain sex.

man talking to buddies at bar says he likes pornography

man tells friends at bar that he likes sex and pornography, and won't pretend otherwise.

Don't be coy!  Just ask for what you want, (or find what you want), and be happy. This leads me to my favorite quote ever:

     If you don't ask, the answer is always no.

I can't find the original source of this truism, but someone told this to me over 15 years ago, and I've tried to follow it ever since.

(If you are a Freudian, substitute "cigar" for "banana" in the title. I prefer bananas.)
