A black-and-white single-panel cartoon. Two middle-aged men sit side by side on a grassy riverbank beneath a tree, both facing a calm river. One man gestures casually as if speaking, while the other looks out at the water. Extending over them, a thick tree branch forms a canopy. From that branch, a large boa constrictor hangs straight down, its open mouth positioned directly above and slightly behind the speaker’s head, poised to strike. Neither man is aware of the snake. Below the image, centered in italics and quotation marks, the caption reads: “My therapist says it’s healthier to sit on the riverbank than get swept away by the current.”

Drawn & Cultured Wednesday - when we give politics a rest.

Sometimes the calm we reach for isn’t the whole picture.

As a therapist, I’ve learned that the best advice can still lead to termination.

Color cartoon titled “The Depressed Reaper.” The Grim Reaper reclines on a therapist’s couch holding his scythe while a bespectacled therapist takes notes in a warmly lit office. The Reaper says, “Every time I meet someone new it turns out the same way.”

Drawn & Cultured Wednesday. No politics. Plenty of existential angst. Today, even Death needs someone to talk to.

A color cartoon shows an anthropomorphic capsule lying sadly on a therapist’s couch. The pill says, “I’m sad and confused because I don’t know if it’s working because of me or because of the idea of me.” A bearded therapist sits nearby, listening empathetically while taking notes. A framed Pepperdine University diploma hangs on the wall. Caption below reads: The Placebo “Affect”.

It’s Drawn & Cultured Wednesday.
A break from politics, and a little humor about being human…
even when being human is a such a pill. 💊
