This image seems fitting for the first day of Summer. I don’t know if Honoré Sharrer was a Jimmy Buffet fan, but something about this sketch just makes me think: “blew out my flip-flop/stepped on a pop top.” Since that song is now going to be stuck in my head all day, I’ll take solace in the hope that maybe I’ve gotten it stuck in YOUR head too.
