My buddy, Brad Fitzpatrick, drew this cartoon in response to the “abhorrent” article that I wrote called “How to Suck Up to a Blogger.”
We're missing a caption. I KNOW you guys can come up with some great stuff. Please submit your idea as a comment!
Oh yeah, click here to see the outtakes (ala Jackie Chan movies).
