Thinking Errors I have a fascinating topic for you today and it was one of my favorite things to learn in my own recovery process.

Today's macabre offering marks my one hundredth (!) appearance in Dan Piraro's aptly-titled daily comic, Bizarro. The layout in my submission sketch is similar to the final product, although Dan seized the opportunity to add a stick of dynamite (one of his recurring secret symbols) to the female character's instruments of mayhem. He also shifted the "camera angle" a few degrees. I tend to draw my panels from a very straightforward point of view, while Dan usually adds visual interest by altering the perspective. There's a long, ongoing tradition of cartoonists using the Grim Reaper as inspiration for a gag. This one is based on the common phrase "flirting with death" as a description of risky behavior. The combination of cigarettes, alcohol, firearms, knives, drugs and dynamite certainly qualifies. A few months earlier, I drew a nearly identical sketch, with the woman speaking. This version works, too. It's a little subtler, and relies on the character's body language and expression to establish the mood and expectation. The "flirting" version has the benefit of adding the props to reinforce the joke. This earlier drawing clearly shows the influence of Virgil "VIP" Partch. Virgil Franklin Partch (1916-1984) As mentioned above, the Grim Reaper is a staple of gag cartoons, and some of my earlier Bizarro collaborations have also featured the old Pale Rider: January 31, 2012 August 19, 2011 June 29, 2011 It's a true pleasure, as well as an invaluable learning experience, to be working with Dan Piraro. We're already getting started on the next hundred collaborations. If you have some time to kill, feel free to peruse the previous fruits of our combined psyches in this blog's archive. Thanks for reading and commenting. My eternal gratitude goes to all-around prince Dan for allowing me to occasionally shake off a dusting of cold, harsh reality and stick my head into Bizarro's Rectangle of Strangeness.
As someone who has found recovery through the program almost twenty years ago because there were simply no other options available, I am both a beneficiary and a proponent to be sure. As a former psychotherapist, I also recognize that there is, of course, no one path to recovery. I know that any body of thought and organization has its flaws, and that AA is is no exception. I have seen people in the program misinterpret the text as justification for abuse of other members; I have come across unhealthy practices and people; I understand where things can go and have gone awry. Throughout the years, when given the opportunity to have an open discussion about the criticisms of AA with people inside and outside of the program, I do. My intention is never to change minds or convince anyone to change their mind; I have no problem with disagreement or rejection (nor am I the spokesperson for AA). I only aim to provide accurate information about the program’s principles when it’s clear the criticisms stem from gross misinformation or a fringe experience.The arguments against AA typically center on a few core themes, which I’ve attempted to lay out here. Although I’ve long wanted to write this piece, I’ve consistently put it off, opting for in-person discussions versus online debates, which are typically futile. A recent piece in The New York Times, “The Patriarchy of Alcoholics Anonymous” by Holly Whitaker, prompted me to finally get it down.
