I found this sign at the base of a telephone pole, where it apparently had been originally displayed before the elements dashed it to the ground.

Even at the coast I encounter another entry in the throwaway dental floss series

Seaview, Washington

This was in someone's mouth cleaning out gunk between their teeth and now it is out there on the ground for the rest of us to behold.  Excuse me while I get sick.

Morty Comix # 2473

Morty Comix # 2473 was drawn into the sand at the ocean beach, Seaview, Washington. The wind was so incredibly strong that it was more of a threat to the art than the incoming tide!

Morty Comix # 2472

Morty Comix # 2472 was drawn on the morning window condensation of the trailer where my brother Bryan and nephew Zach were staying at the Sou'wester in Seaview, Washington.

Too bad most of the image is lost in the photo. I guess this issue of Morty Comix is mostly lost to history as well. I realize that my current distribution of this title on the face might seem crazy, but on another level I have an audience who reads the Morty the Blog documentation of this artistic communication, although it garners very few responses from the finders. So the comic alone isn't as important as the conceptual placement and documentation, which in itself has become my new art form.

The Myth of Sisyphus by Big Al Camus probably explains my motives here better than anything else.

Back in 1965 we lost our big farm home to fire, and that was followed by seven glorious years with four of us in a trailer about the same size as the one pictured above. Our trailer was a third-hand, falling apart Great Lakes. Our Shetlands would scratch their backs on the end of the mobile home, and our whole house would shake.

But we survived intact and emerged the better for it. My own early lesson here was that material possessions are temporary and can be taken away in a flash. And when that happens, what is left?

Morty Comix # 2471

Morty the Dog # 2471 was drawn onto the shower steam on the bathroom mirror in the tiny trailer I stayed in at the Sou'wester, Seaview, Washington

Morty Comix # 2469

Morty Comix # 2469 slid very well behind the coat closet mirror of my tiny trailer at the Sou'wester at Seaview, Washington. It was actually quite a comfortable place, but then again there was only one of me staying there.

Morty Comix # 2468

Morty Comix # 2468 was slipped inside a videocassette container with the movie Sunset Blvd., at the Sou'wester VHS library, Seaview, Washington. My nephew Zach was with me during this caper.

Morty Comix # 2467

Morty Comix # 2467 was placed inside a book with selected works of Marlowe and Shakespeare. I placed it on the page that had one of my fave quotes from Macbeth:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The book was then returned to the shelves of the Sou'wester in Seaview, Washington
