NOTE: Hope this doesn’t bring anyone down or anything. It was just a thought that occurred to me as myself and several others ran on treadmills at the gym today… and it made me grin as I ran, which probably made me look kind of crazy. Oh well.
PS. Yes I am a Blur fan. 
NOTE: Want this cartoon on a T-shirt? No? Oh. Well in that case, this is a little awkward… because I’ve just made this shirt available in several different styles on my Cafe Press store. It’s here: http://www.cafepress.com/therut

I had a small problem with my heart. After being told that among other things, I have to workout regularly, that’s exactly how I feel.

I just happened to come across your site today and am cracking up.
I went to Google Images and typed: ‘Surprise’ — as i was looking for a pix for a certain work email I had to reply to.
One of the results was the ‘animal surprises’ — your cartoon of the dog with his pup and the cat with the bird.
i couldn’t stop laughing == and long story short – i’ve now spent at least one hour browsing your site. FABULOUS. i live in Hong Kong. i’ve shared with some friends too. GOOD WORK man. I don’t know how you get all the creativity – but i love it.

Cristiane, thanks for the kind words, it’s nice to hear you dig my stuff.
feeling awfully guilty about neglecting The Rut… but too busy working on another project to give this the time it needs. I look forward to getting some time to kick this off again!
Thanks again
Phil
PS. I loved Hong Kong. Didn;t love the hangover I got there, though.

Phil – welcome to the the XPATS’ club my friend re: your hangover story.
HK rocks. I’ve lived in some cool cities but HK by far beats all others in regards to partying… it’s tough! I know limit myself to only ONE BIG night a week. that’s it. not getting any younger (none of us here really) and work, yoga, partying..hmmm hard to manage!
Hey i can only imagine it is difficult to keep up with THE RUT. I started a blog last year and honestly… all i could do was 3 entries! hahaha
there’s not enough time.
but you have enough material here. pretty good. will keep checking back.
