LAST WEEK, SOME PLANTS TURNED UP DEAD. A week earlier, there was an incident involving a gun. Now it’s robbery (hopefully not armed with said gun), and I don’t know what in the world to think; maybe these things aren’t illegal in Nebraska? Best mind my own business, I suppose. But doesn’t the line in the poem say, “Good fences make good neighbors?” Oh, my, Andre the doodler seems to have veered off course. And you: Coveting anything that is thy neighbor’s there yourself, are you now?

doodle by andre: it’s amazing out there, no?
T HOUGH I HOPE MY FIGURE IS STILL A TAD BETTER THAN THIS GUY’S, despite all the dark chocolate and fig bars lately, he is definitely on to something: Miracles abound outside the window. Have you had a look today? Thanks, Andre Jordan, for the sweet reminder.

WE EACH HAVE BOUNDARIES, LINES WE DON’T WANT CROSSED. Apparently a certain garden tool depicted here sits right on one such line. Uh-oh. This isn’t the first hint of trouble: Not long ago she was digging herself into a pretty deep hole all alone (and this despite the fact that they already garden in separate beds). What will be the next chapter in Andre Jordan’s story of gardening on the rocks? Stay tuned.

THERE IS SIMPLY NOTHING TO SAY in response to this latest of Andre Jordan’s outbursts but this: I shower daily, sir.
from andre the doodler, a memoir!
“WHEN YOU ARE STRANGE, THE WORLD CAN BE AMAZING.” So ends the illustrated memoir, “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now,” published Tuesday by my friend and columnist Andre Jordan, the daydreaming doodler. Now when you’re Bambi…well, the world can be quite another story, and not so amazing, as the doodle above from the fantastic (if a little twisted) new book confirms. [Read more...]
doodle by andre: we’re outta there
BESIDES OUR SOMEWHAT OFFKILTER HUMOR, Andre Jordan and I have another thing in common: We not so long ago each headed for the hills. (Wait, are there even hills in Nebraska?)
doodle by andre: hiccup! (excuse me.)
SHE SERVED TURKEY AT SAID GARDEN PARTY. You ate too much. You drank too much. And now? Now you are probably watching football….oh, dear. Happy Thanksgiving from me and Andre Jordan (his first in America). Enjoy. (But try not to go face-down in the flower beds. Bad form.)
doodle by andre: spatial priorities
RATHER THAN TRY TO GILD THE LILY, why don’t I just leave Andre Jordan’s doodle to speak for itself? To my mind the shed might still be too small and the house too big…but I will shut up now and leave mad enough alone.
doodle by andre: oh yeah, sure. right.
DO YOU THINK I BELIEVE THIS FOR ONE SECOND? After nearly 30 years of fighting (losing?) the good fight, I know the one thing we can count on is that garlic mustard will outlive us. Thanks to Andre for another great doodle, and for making the slide into the low-light time sunnier that we’d have dared hope.
