hmmm....how to explain? i started doodling recently, these little rectangles. i'm super positive and convinced that they are derivative of something already drawn or maybe even copied directly from some 'toon i've seen. oh well. please don't sue me.
i've been using them to calm me down about stressful things or just ideas that i can't get off the treadmill in my head.
this summer, 2 very young, really irresponsible people moved into the house right next door and then they had a baby. the baby's room shares a wall with my home office, so i hear him during the day. the dad comes in and sings to him when he cries, but the mother, jeebus. all she does is yell. i'm embarassed for her and wonder if she knows how clearly i can hear her every word.
I looked up at what point I can call Child Protective Services. Yelling doesn't count. I hear doors slamming and stuff moved around and even a few times, stuff thrown against the wall, but so far, it seems like she isn't taking it directly out on him.
i'm positive that this kind of behavior will make him into a well adjusted and sensitive person when he grows up. yeah, right.
so i'm drawing Wrecked and Angle on my greaseboard. This way i can erase it and it will be only temporary. i hope the situation for the baby is also only temporary, but i'm doubtful.

I'm really sorry for you and especially for the baby for having to go through this. What an uncomfortable and maybe scary situation! Maybe it will calm down as her hormones get back in equilibrium. I had something similar going on with an upstairs couple with young kids when they would get drunk and fight then one or the other of them would yell at the kids. My wife and I let the kids stay with us one night when it got really bad. We called the police, but there was nothing they could do other than telling them to keep the noise down. It's sad when someone has to be hurt or killed before anything can be done about it.
