Since this is Father’s Day Weekend I thought I’d recycle an Adam & Andy post from a couple of years ago that is on theme if not exactly accurate.
ADAM & ANDY is set in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. You can learn more about this strip by visiting, adamandandy.com. To see previous Adam and Andy cartoons link here.
Enjoy the weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out this week’s post.

This week I’m featuring an Instagram account I really enjoy following. Will Taylor is the man behind the IG account, brightbazaar, and with 200,000+ followers, I’m going to bet more than a few of you may already follow him.
What I really like about brighbazaar is the colors that seem to pop in every photo taken. There is obviously a lot of time spent thinking about the look he is trying to capture and the effect isn’t lost on me. Anyone with an eye and appreciation for design is going to really enjoy this account.
