“Greater Addisonia is a large and populous place. To riff on Walt Whitman, It is large, it contains multitudes.’ Some of those multitudes will be familiar to regular visitors of Addisonia: the mustachioed painter (and his ribald muses), the adorable and pudgy offspring (with something up their sleeves), the not-so-suburban couples, with their dubious coiffures, the standing-erect and verbose wildlife, with so much to say (if at a distance).”—Elizabeth Boleman-Herring

ATLANTA Georgia—(Weekly Hubris)—1 June 2022—Editor’s Note: Greater Addisonia is a large and populous place. To riff on Walt Whitman, “It is large, it contains multitudes.” Some of those multitudes will be familiar to regular visitors to Addisonia: the mustachioed painter (and his ribald muses), the adorable and pudgy offspring (with something up their sleeves), the not-so-suburban couples, with their dubious coiffures, the standing-erect and verbose wildlife, with so much to say (if at a distance). Rasputin (I ask you! Rasputin, dead these 106 years!) even makes an appearance this month, wearing an anatidaean inner tube and approaching the deep blue sea. (Addisonia, I tell you, contains multitudes.)

Mark Addison Kershaw says his influences include James Thurber, Jean-Jacques Sempé, Charles Schultz, Berke Breathed, and several cartoonists from “The New Yorker.” Kershaw was born and brought up in Nebraska, spent college dabbling in philosophy and a few decades during/after in Minnesota, and now makes his home in Atlanta, Georgia, where he may be spotted walking his dog around the lake behind his home, taking photographs, and thinking cartoonish thoughts.
