Attention Verbotomists: We are trying a new thing this week with "photos", which we are using to illustrate the definitions, instead of the cartoons. I have chosen photos from some of the best photographers at Flickr. Click on the photo credit (creative commons license) under the image to see the original pictures. Hope you like them! ~ James

I/we can appreciate you might need a break from your drawing board, James. Pix, into the mix, of verbotomy, is nice,but I Njoyed your cartoons muchly! So I hope there will be a mix of both in the future. Your cartoons are a huge part of the heart, and mind, of verbotomy!
