Sideways Elevator

doo be doo be doo be doo be dooooo

doo be doo be (next stop Albania, please keep your ammunition stashed securely on your Rambo-style belt until the elevator comes to a complete stop.)

doo be doo be doo be doo be dooooo

“do be do be do”
- Frank Sinatra

The first who guesses which Kurt Vonnegut book used that Frank Sinatra quote will get an original drawing mailed to them by yours truly! (just because it’s original doesn’t mean it’ll be any good.)

While you’re at it check out the Carnival of Struggling Bumbling Newbies, and the Carnival of Self Publishing. Lots of great links.

Quick! check out the Carnival of Youth Initiative before you’re no longer a youth!

Deadeye Dick?

I’d like to say its cos I have read some of his work but Google is your friend and alot of people seem to quote it in thier forum signatures (so I can blame them if I’m wrong).

Having said that I’m not a big reader and you may well have spurred me on to read some Kurt Vonnegut.

Anyways loving the comic and keep up the awesome work

I’ve never read any Vonnegut, but I do recognise the quote from a poster in my old philosophy classroom (old meaning i passed my finals a couple of months ago). I can’t remember who else was on it, but it went like this:

To be is to do.
– big (possibly greek) philosopher guy A

To do is to be.
– big (possibly french) philosopher guy B

Do be do be do.
– Sinatra.

I might’ve mixed up the first two, though they seem right, with Descartes in the back of my mind saying “to think (or doubt is to be”. Regardless, this was always one of my favorite posters in that classroom, and we had quite a lot of them.

Damn it ! Deadeye Dick is right ! Its the original from the Socrates-Sartre-Sinatra joke. Jeremy, dont suppose you have another painting lying around ?

Wow, nice turnout.

Ben is indeed the fastest with the Google so he’ll get a drawing for punctuality. Dominic gets one for showing letting me know that there’s a poster I need to buy, and Anish gets one for knowing that it’s Socrates-Sarte-Sinatra!

Now I just gotta think of what to put on three drawings… hmmmmmm.

I’ll contact all three of you by e-mail to figure out where to send them, Thanks for playing peeps!
