Matronize Me!

I'm seeking a volunteer to be a Matron of The Arts. It's like being a Patron, but you go beyond mere promotion and support.

A Matron of the arts will coddle me and smother me, and stifle me when I want to listen to my naughtier muses. And bake me cookies, do my laundry, clean my room and put my albums away where I can't find them.

And, when I eventually turn this concept into a new comic, you, as my Matron, will put it up on the refrigerator.

any volunteers?

I have to Vote, AND get a filling drilled on Tuesday. I don't know which will be more painful...

Even if it's just a municipal election year for you (like it is here; City Council, Treasurer, some Judges, and County Comissioners) get out and vote! (Unless you're going to vote against the candidates I like. Then, please, stay home and read your comics.)
