As a human, everything we live with in today’s present time is ordinary to us…

which is crazy.

Someone from the past would be blown away.

Underwear.

What a creation.

We have all kinds of underwear—regular tighty-whities, boxers, thongs…

Thong…Not my thing, but they’re there.

And for women, they get the bra to accessorize with the underwear.

Now theirs can get fancy…

They even get a store called Victoria’s Secret.

Shhh…

She’s got a secret.

So underwear’s main purpose is to cover your genitalia and to secure that you don’t poop by mistake…

I mean, mistakes happen.

But if you got your tighty-whities…

well…

don’t wear them white.

But the thong…

Now that would be a crazy visual.

It’s like cutting the chocolate cake in half.

That’s a crazy split.

I remember a couple of years ago…

Me and my dad were doing his paper/plastic bag route in LA.

We were driving and my dad was talking to me…

“That dumbass Trump hair of an old-ass doll…”

Then he froze.

Well…

his face froze.

He kept driving.

He missed the turn.

He just kept driving…

and he began to speed up.

Then he started cursing at everyone driving because they seemed to be in his way.

So we got to the driveway and he jumped out.

I heard his hop as he hit the pavement…

and he began to speed-walk to the front door.

He has so many keys.

I could see him fumbling through his keys trying to open the front door.

I could see the anger in his face.

Then he just stopped moving…

slowly opened the door…

and walked in.

About 45 minutes later, he walked out.

Got in the van…

and we began to drive away.

Then he said:

“I shit my underwear. I had to take a bath and throw away my underwear…I loved that pair.”

I couldn’t stop laughing.

So…

underwear.

They can be a lifesaver.

Enjoy your morning…

and your cup of coffee.

When I write something new—or finish a drawing, a Street Cinema piece, or a Hood Chronicle—I’ll send it your way.

There’s no schedule.

You’ll just hear from me whenever something is ready to leave the garage.
