In a New York Minute,

everything can change,

In a New York minute,

Life can get a little strange.

-Don Henley-

Choices

We all have choices. With one wrong decision our lives can change in an instant. The lives of those around us can be altered in a heartbeat. Get behind the wheel of a car after too many drinks. Carry a handgun. Take your eyes off the road to text or change the dial on the CD player. One instant, and everything is over.

These kinds of cartoons are hard for me to draw. Not everything I do is intended to be funny. But when the topic turns serious I feel it is my calling in life to point out the teachable moment in it all. I’m sad for Plaxico Burress. I’m sadder for his little girl, without her father for two years. Nobody wins. Nobody.
