Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Drucquer and Sons Loch Ness in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. This blend was released for sale today. Working on a review of this blend.

Close to finishing this bowl of KBV Father’s Day in a post-1964 black sandblasted medium bend Parker Super BriarBark 109 group 4 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke.

Whenever I see this pipe, I think of the early drawings of the Thing (of the Fantastic Four by Jack Kirby) before he looked more jagged.

Jack Kirby was not only my biggest comic book inspiration, but a close friend, too. You couldn't pick a better artist for me, man.

This particular drawing (which I believe was the original presentation piece Kirby showed Stan Lee) shows that Kirby went from having the Thing with dinosaur skin to rocks. He's uglier here.
