I would like to draw everyone’s attention to a comment left by Derek Kyle Noel the other day:

you are 11 years old ricky. And i think that is just terrific

How right you are, buddy. How right you are. (( By the way — I just wanted to say “Whassup?”… We haven’t seen each other much online lately, and you haven’t updated your blog in weeks! ))

With this comment fresh in my head I began to search through some cabinets downstairs, in hopes of uncovering more material for the case study on my prepubescent brain (which one can deduce from “My Big Trouble”, was pretty screwed up).

I have found… “My Family Portrait.”

Enjoy.

My Family Portrait by Ricky Johnston III

Cover - Let’s take a closer look at that cover, shall we? Apparently, my brother is as tall as my grandfather (and blonde), my Grandma and I are both severely overweight, and my great-grandmother is African-American…
Page One - This page isn’t derogatory towards women by any stretch of the imagination. Now go make me a cake bitch!
Page Two - Heil Daddy!
Page Three - Here’s where I start to get bothered that every member of my family resembles a crack addict’s hand-drawings of the South Park gang…
Page Four - My family has so much fun together… we all turn green!
Page Five - Strangely enough, I don’t really have a problem with this page…
Page Six - I feel like this pretty much sums up my family experience…

There you have it folks. I hope I can keep finding gems like these. I’ve got one more that I’m sitting on…

So I promise, next week… THE DAY RICKY AND KYLE TOOK OVER W.O.S. SCHOOL!!!

You’ve been warned.
